Anything less than a win for Minnesota United on Wednesday night will spell the end of their MLS Cup hopes for another season.
With just three regular season games remaining, Minnesota are currently six points outside the Western Conference wild card places, so they realistically need to win out to have any chances of making the postseason.
The good news for United is that their opponents are a rock-bottom Sporting Kansas City that has won just six of their 31 MLS games so far this season. KC are currently a whopping 12 points adfirft at the bottom of the conference standings and have picked up just one point from their last five games.
Last time out, Minnesota played out a drab 0-0 draw with Houston, whilst KC were edged out 2-1 by Austin.

Our Minnesota United vs Sporting Kansas City Prediction
This is a must-win game for Minnesota, and we are tipping them to get the job done agisnt the weakest side in the league.
Defense has been a big issue for United this season. The weekend 0-0 with Houston was their first clean sheet since early August. Because of that poor defensive record, we are backing KC to breach the United defence, but ultimately come away with yet another defeat.
Our prediction for Minnesota United vs Sporting Kansas City is: Minnesota to win and both teams to score
