One of the matches in the upcoming MLS game day will be played at Children’s Mercy Park, where Sporting Kansas City will host Los Angeles FC. I recommend considering betting on goals for this match, as there are good odds available.
Match Preview:
Last season was a nightmare for Sporting Kansas City, as they finished second to last in the Western Conference, only ahead of San Jose. The new season hasn’t been much better so far, with just one point after four rounds, leaving them firmly at the bottom of the Eastern Conference table.
However, in their most recent match, Sporting Kansas City showed signs of life, securing a 3-3 draw against a strong Minnesota side. The team demonstrated attacking firepower, which could help them break their winless streak if they maintain that same intensity in the upcoming match.
On the other hand, Los Angeles FC started the season strongly with two consecutive wins, beating Minnesota (1-0) and New York City (1-0). But their momentum faltered with a heavy loss to Seattle (2-5) and an unexpected defeat to Austin (0-1), leaving them in eighth place in the table.
In this match, Los Angeles FC will have a good opportunity to get back on track. Historically, they have performed well against Sporting Kansas City, but an easy win is not guaranteed. To secure the victory, they will need to focus on their defense and minimize mistakes.
Probable Lineups:
- Sporting Kansas City: Pulskamp – Afrifa, Bartlett, Jurcher, Salloi – Voloder, Joveljic, Leibold, Miller – Radoja, Rodriguez
