Minnesota United FC MLS Betting
Although Minnesota United have made the postseason for each of the last four seasons, the prognosticators aren’t high on their chances entering the 2023 campaign. Emanuel Reynoso did not report to the club for preseason training, and he is expected to miss a good amount of time for personal reasons in Argentina. Reynoso is the best player on the team and led the Loons in goals and assists last season, so his absence is enormous. If he doesn’t return to the team at some point, it’s hard to imagine Minnesota United making a fifth straight playoff appearance.

Minnesota United FC 2023 Preview
The Loons looked to improve their back line this offseason with the addition of Miguel Tapias from Pachuca and Mikael Marques from AFC Eskilstuna in Sweden. Tapias is expected to make a significant impact as he was a big part of Pachuca’s success in Liga MX. However, this defense probably has a ceiling of an above average unit at best.
Instead, Minnesota is focused on scoring even if Reynoso isn’t on the field. Hassani Dotson is finally able to play after dealing with a major injury in 2022, and Kervin Arriaga is looking to make another big step forward as a solid midfielder. Robin Lod has netted 22 goals and 12 assists over his last three seasons with the Loons, and fans are optimistic that Bongokuhle Hlongwane could be a real difference maker up top after showing some promise last season.

Minnesota United are one of the most recent Major League Soccer expansion franchises. They replaced a North American Soccer League team of the same name that didn’t have much success, but that club did have a lot of fan support and proved that the Twin Cities would support an MLS club if given the opportunity.
The Loons didn’t have much success in their first two seasons in the league, but they were one of the top teams in the Western Conference in 2019. They had the second-best goal differential in the MLS, and Minnesota United nearly won their first silverware. The Loons made it all the way to the US Open Cup Final, but they couldn’t get past defending MLS Cup champions Atlanta United.
They have now made it to the playoffs for four straight years. Minnesota United lost in the first round of the Western Conference Playoffs in 2019, 2021, and 2022, but they made it to the Western Conference Finals in 2020. The Loons hammered the Colorado Rapids 3-0 in the first round thanks to a brace from Kevin Molino, and Molino notched another brace in a 3-0 win over Sporting Kansas City. This club looked set to make its first MLS Cup appearance after taking a 2-0 lead into the 75th minute against the Seattle Sounders, but the Sounders scored three goals in the next 18 minutes to stun the Loons.
