Defensively, they have improved immeasurably, keeping successive clean sheets. However, a sterner test of their playoff credentials arrives on Wednesday when they travel to Minnesota.

The hosts have avoided defeat in their last six matches across all competitions, and confidence levels will be high following an excellent win over San Jose on Saturday evening.
