MLS: Minnesota vs. Sporting KC Picks — United to Maintain Push in Western Conference (Oct 4)

Pulsating action in the MLS continues this weekend, as Minnesota United host Sporting KC. The hosts will still be fighting for points in their quest to finish top of the Western Conference standings.

Sporting KC are already out of playoff contention in the Western Conference, and their recent form is very poor. The visitors have suffered defeats in each of their last three matches in the MLS.
