Minnesota United FC vs. Vancouver Whitecaps FC Preview

Minnesota United FC News Release


GOLDEN VALLEY, Minn. - Minnesota United welcomes Vancouver Whitecaps FC in a midweek match at Allianz Field on Wednesday night, seeking to capture a victory for the first time in five games.

The Loons on Saturday, June 29, went up 2-0 on the road against the Portland Timbers in the first half, but ran out of steam and eventually fell 3-2 to the Oregon side. Bongokuhle Hlongwane and Sang Bin Jeong both contributed to the scoring against Portland, and hope to continue adding to their score sheets this week. Minnesota United notably are unbeaten at home against Whitecaps FC dating back to 2017 at both TCF Bank Stadium and Allianz Field.

Heading into Wednesday's match, Vancouver comes to Allianz Field on the back of a strong 4-3 victory over Saint Louis CITY SC where Brian White scored a hat trick to help lift the Canadian side to their first victory in three matches.

Both sides fight to stay towards the top of the Western Conference table, as only one point separates the squads heading into Wednesday night's fixture. Will there be Fourth of July fireworks and three points at Allianz Field in favor of the home squad, or will the Canadian side spoil the holiday festivities and continue to climb up the standings?
