“Win and we’re in” have been the words on the lips of Minnesota United fans ahead of tonight’s matchup with Sporting Kansas City. After the Loons squandered the chance to win and clinch a playoff berth in Sunday’s 0-0 goalless draw against the Portland Timbers, they are now presented with a much more straightforward scenario. Regardless of how any other result finishes in the west, an MNUFC win against SKC will secure it a spot in the 2019 MLS Playoffs. Sporting KC enters tonight’s match as a side devoid of confidence and letting goals in left and right. Nevertheless, Sporting still have a mathematical chance of finishing above the playoff line so the visitors will come into Allianz Field desperate for a result that could give them a glimmer of hope in the final stretch of the season.
