A shock win over LA Galaxy has set Minnesota United on a fine trajectory ahead of their MLS game at home to Real Salt Lake. Minnesota are 10th in the Western Conference, with 21 points, which is eight points behind third placed Real Salt Lake. In the top 10, Minnesota have the poorest goal difference (-1), and have managed just one win in the 17 league games played. In their last outing, they did beat LA Galaxy 3-2, but that was just the first win after three straight losses in the league. They have no clean sheet in their last five matches and have failed to score in one. Four of their last five matches have produced over 2.5 goals. In each of the last three matches, they conceded two goals.

Real Salt Lake drew 0-0 with Columbus Crew in their last outing, bagging their second straight clean sheet and the third in four matches. Now they will be hoping to build on the latest game by beating their hosts. They’ve scored twice or more in three of the last five matches and only conceded more than a goal in one of the five matches – against Vancouver Whitecaps. In only one of their last five matches have Real Salt Lake failed to score. The big concern for Real Salt Lake will be in their away form; they have failed to score in three of the last five, and have just one clean sheet in the five. In three of their last five away matches, Real Salt Lake have conceded two or more goals, and three of them have produced over 2.5 goals.
