The Nicest Rivalry in Sports has the potential for fireworks, given what's at stake at Allianz Field.
This rings particularly true for Sporting Kansas City, who are desperate for all three points. Mired in a nine-game winless streak, SKC have also lost six straight and need to string a series of positive results to drag themselves out of the bottom of the Western Conference standings.
In contrast, Minnesota United are thriving under new head coach Eric Ramsay, sitting in fourth place in the West. With do-it-all midfielder Robin Lod (4g/10a) now officially pulling the strings after the departure of Emanuel Reynoso, U22 Initiative signing Sang Bin Jeong starting to come into his own and Tani Oluwaseyi emerging as the breakout player of the season, the Loons look poised to return to the Audi MLS Cup Playoffs after missing out in 2023.

It's bounce-back time for Inter Miami CF after a disappointing Matchday 17 performance, a 3-1 loss to a struggling Atlanta United side.
The challenge looms even larger on the Supporter's Shield leaders, with superstar Lionel Messi departing following the match to join Argentina for the 2024 Copa América, which could keep him away from the Herons as late as July 14.
With Messi gone, other standouts like MatÃas Rojas and Luis Suárez could also leave over the next few weeks, with potential calls to Paraguay and Uruguay for the tournament.
St. Louis bring fresh legs into the cross-conference matchup, having not played midweek, as they look to climb the Western Conference standings before new signing Cedric Teuchert joins in July.

It's not Rivalry Week presented by Continental Tire, but a brewing battle between southern foes will take center stage on Sunday afternoon.
After snapping a nine-game winless streak against Inter Miami, Atlanta look to climb into playoff contention with another strong performance against Charlotte. Reigning MLS Player of the Matchday Saba Lobjanidze will also try to build on his midweek performance ahead of his participation in this summer's UEFA Euro 2024 tournament with Georgia.
Meanwhile, Charlotte's backline struggled in a 3-1 loss to the New York Red Bulls on Matchday 17 after posting five straight clean sheets. Can Dean Smith's squad get back on track at Mercedes-Benz Stadium?
