Minnesota United, also referred to as "the Loons," is undeniably one of those teams that compel you to switch on the TV for a game. This is due to their offensive dynamism, quick transitions, and ability to turn scores around, turning potential losses into draws and ties into wins. Under head coach Eric Ramsey, they are in second place in the Western Conference, just two points behind San Diego. The Loons have climbed so high they are now the seventh favorite to win it all.
In MLS, Minnesota United is coming off a 3-1 victory over San Diego FC. In a match that featured four goals after the 75th minute, Minnesota United defeated the conference leader at Snapdragon Stadium with goals from Markanich, Harvey, and Triantis.
After such an inspiring victory earlier in the week, Minnesota United lost in the semifinals of the US Open Cup against Austin FC. They conceded a painful goal just before halftime, but Argentine midfielder Joaquín Pereyra tied the score, forcing a very close overtime, where Austin FC eliminated the Loons with a goal in the final play.
Therefore, Chicago Fire will believe they have a chance to beat Minnesota United at Allianz Field, given the physical burden the Loons suffered in their US Open Cup match earlier this week.

Our Minnesota United vs Chicago Fire Prediction
Chicago Fire has played a significant number of matches at Soldier Field recently; they have three away games remaining, starting with Saturday's against Minnesota United, and another against Inter Miami will soon follow. The truth is that, for now, the Chicago Fire have been an outstanding visitor, the fourth-best team in their conference.
The Windy City team is holding onto the last play-in spot, trailed by the New York Red Bulls, but with the advantage of having a game in hand.
Minnesota United has frequently displayed defensive lapses and errors; this could be exploited by a goal scorer as avid as Belgian Cuypers, the eighth-highest scorer in all of MLS.
Our prediction for Minnesota United vs Chicago Fire is: Over 3.5 goals.
