With 14 points picked up in its last seven games, Miami FC (4W-3D-2L, 15 points) and its group of midseason acquisitions are beginning to fulfill head coach Alessandro Nesta’s vision. The South Florida side heads back home on Saturday on the heels of a scoreless draw on Wednesday night in Ottawa, and while it wasn’t pretty, the result vaulted the club into fourth place in the Fall Season Standings and pulled it even on points with the Loons.

Minnesota (4-3-3, 15) also played to a scoreless draw in its last game, earning a point on the road against Jacksonville Armada FC last Saturday. The Loons, who haven’t won away from home since April, will view this clash as a hugely important one for a few reasons. Minnesota sits even on points with Miami in the Fall Season Standings and a win would put the club squarely back into the title race. Additionally, in the last meeting between these two sides, Miami came away with a landslide victory (4-0) at NSC Stadium, so revenge is likely top of mind for the Loons.
