The Blues have had a poor 2023 campaign; they have only collected 26 points from 24 games and are now sitting in 13th place in the Eastern Conference.
Only one of Nick Cushing's team's previous 15 league contests had ended in victories, and they also suffered a Round of 32 Leagues Cup defeat. Their local opponents, the New York Red Bulls, managed to win 1-0 thanks to a penalty kick from Omir Guadalupe Fernandez in the 32nd minute.
Minnesota has also not been very successful, winning only seven times in 22 games in the Western Conference. They are eighth in the points rankings with a pitiful total of 28 points.
