Game Central
Game presented by Toro
The Loons are staying in Saint Paul this weekend to take on another Texan team, Austin FC. Austin is coming to Allianz Field hot, with no losses in their last three games. In two of those matches, they took down both of their Texan rivals with identical final scorelines of 3-0. Minnesota has recently turned the tide and is now on a two-game unbeaten streak. The Black & Blue and Black & Verde are currently tied with a record of 3-3 in head-to-head matchups. At Allianz Field specifically, the Loons have a slight edge with a record of 2-1. With home field advantage on their side and the possible debut of a new number nine, Minnesota is looking to chop down El Tree. Can't make it to St. Paul? No problem! You can stream the game on Apple TV's MLS Season Pass or tune in to 1500 ESPN to see which team comes out on top.
