The travelling Orlando City SC fans arrive with a spring in their step, and rightly so. recent form reads L-W-W-L-D. That L-W-W-L-D away form is genuinely impressive. Minnesota United FC have been wobbling (D-D-L-D-L) recent form reads D-D-L-D-L. But home crowds have a way of dragging a side through, and Minnesota United FC will fancy that their own supporters can be the difference when it matters. Interestingly, Minnesota United FC have been poor at home recently while Orlando City SC travel well. the visitors' away form is superior to the hosts' home record. One thing to keep in mind about Minnesota United FC. They're scoring 1.7 goals per game but the quality of chances they create only works out at 1.0. Scoring that much more than the chances suggest (+0.4), that kind of hot finishing usually cools off, so their results may be flattering their actual play. A concern for Orlando City SC: they're giving up chances worth 2.4 a game over their last 5 (vs 2.0 for the season). The defence is creaking.
