Lineups

Squad Ratings

The overall squad rating for San Diego is 7.02, compared to 6.80 for Minnesota United FC. This metric is derived from each player's average match rating across all league appearances this season — anything above 7.00 is considered strong, while below 6.50 signals inconsistency. San Diego's highest-rated starter is A. Dreyer (7.66), while Minnesota United FC's best-rated player is J. Pereyra (7.33).

Attacking Output

The starting XI of San Diego have contributed 13 goals and 11 assists this season, led by A. Dreyer (6G). Minnesota United FC's starters account for 10 goals and 5 assists, spearheaded by K. Yeboah (8G). Goals reflect clinical finishing and chance creation, while assists highlight the ability to unlock defences through through-balls, crosses, and set pieces.

Defensive Solidity

San Diego deploy 4 defenders rated 7.02 on average, against Minnesota United FC's 5-man backline averaging 6.67. Higher defensive ratings suggest better positional awareness, fewer individual errors, and a greater likelihood of keeping clean sheets. The rating accounts for tackles won, interceptions, aerial duels, and blocks throughout the season.

Midfield Control

San Diego field 3 midfielders averaging 7.26, versus Minnesota United FC's 4 rated 6.98. Midfield ratings reflect passing accuracy, interceptions, key passes, and overall control of possession — the team that dominates midfield typically dictates the tempo and territory of the match.

Forward Threat

San Diego start 3 forward(s) averaging 7.16, compared to 1 for Minnesota United FC averaging 6.76. Forward ratings capture shot accuracy, movement off the ball, dribbling success, and involvement in build-up play — they indicate who carries the greater goal threat on the day.

Passing & Build-Up

Passing accuracy averages 86% for San Diego and 85% for Minnesota United FC. Higher passing accuracy generally indicates a possession-based style with patient build-up through the thirds, while lower figures may suggest a more direct, counter-attacking approach with long balls and quick transitions.

Discipline

San Diego's starters have collected 9 yellow cards this season, compared to 17 for Minnesota United FC. Yellow cards reflect how aggressively a team presses and tackles — a high count may indicate a physical, high-pressing style but also risks suspensions and late free-kicks in dangerous areas.

Age & Experience

The average age of San Diego's starting XI is 26.5 (youngest: L. Bombino (19), oldest: A. Pellegrino (35)), while Minnesota United FC average 27.3 (youngest: O. Gene (22), oldest: M. Boxall (37)). Younger squads typically offer pace, energy, and pressing intensity, while experienced lineups bring composure, game management, and the ability to handle high-pressure moments.

Squad Depth

San Diego's starters average 11 league appearances each, versus 12 for Minnesota United FC. High appearance counts indicate an established, well-drilled unit that the manager trusts week in and week out. Lower figures may suggest rotation, injuries, or emerging players still earning their place in the team.
