Minnesota Vikings (3-1) hope for a successful tie at the US Bank Stadium, where they welcome the Chicago Bears (2-2) in an exciting divisional match-up on Sunday. The Minnesota Vikings top the NFC North division after 4 games while the Chicago Bears are two spots behind in third. For the Minnesota Vikings, they simply need to win. Considering how big a favorite they are, home supporters will be outraged to miss out on a home win at the US Bank Stadium.

Minnesota Vikings Form 

The Minnesota Vikings beat the New Orleans Saints 28-25 across the pond in London last weekend, leaving the hosts 4-6 in their past 10 games overall and 3-2 in the last 5 at home.

While the offense hasn’t exactly set the world alight, the Minnesota Vikings make up for it in defense. They’ve allowed 20.0 points on average from 4 games this season.

Chicago Bears Form 

While a 20-12 defeat to the New York Giants last week was disappointing, the Chicago Bears are still looking good with a 7-3 record from their last 10 games. They are 2-3 in the last 5 on the road.

The offense may have the second-lowest points average at 16.0, but a thriving defense has kept the Chicago Bears strong. They have only allowed 19.3 points in their 4 games this season.
