Gil and Jansson scored for either side to ensure a share of the spoils, but it wasn’t the right result for New England as it continued their inconsistent run.
New England has won just 2 of their last 5 matches in the league and have not been able to create a push or run of positive results.
This result leaves them in 8th place with 20 points from 15 matches and out of the play-off spots.
On the other hand, Minnesota lost 1-0 to NYCFC in their previous clash prior to the international break.
This ensured successive losses across competitions and their 3rd in the last 5 matches.
Minnesota is left on 9th place in the Western League table with 18 points from 14 matches and are desperate to gain points.
The poor run of results has left them in a bit of a mess as they have not been able to recover and are currently at a crucial juncture of the season.
Both teams last met in March 2019 during the MLS where New England won 2-1.

Prediction: New England 2-0 Minnesota
The hosts should be able to win this one comfortably as they have the form even if it is not brilliant, but enough to put one over Minnesota.
Minnesota is struggling for momentum and with the international break, should have calmed themselves ahead of the next run of fixtures.
Form, consistency is in favour of the hosts and are expected to take three points.
