Our prediction for this MLS match:
After sharing the spoils with the likes of Houston Dynamo, Philadelphia Union, and Los Angeles FC, Sporting Kansas City will be aiming to return to winning ways in the MLS when they take on San Jose Earthquakes on Sunday morning. The Wizards had their chances to score the opener against Los Angeles FC and they are surely capable of matching San Jose at their Children’s Mercy Park. All Remi Walter, Khiry Shelton, and Logan Ndenbe are sidelined with injuries for the home side.
The Earthquakes, on the other hand, made a slow start to the season, with the team losing each of their first three league matches and, taking everything into account, we believe that punters from all four corners of the world can find value in betting on the home side. As for the visitors, Alfredo Morales is a pushing for a start, while all Carlos Akapo, Niko Tsakiris, and JT Marcinkowski remain in the recovery room.
Highlighted Team (Sporting Kansas City):
Sporting Kansas City have been competing in Major League Soccer since 1996 and they won their first MLS Cup trophy in 2000. The club faced Chicago Fire at Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium in Washington in the play-offs final and Miklos Jon Molnar scored the winner for Bob Gansler’s team. 13 years later Sporting Kansas City met with Solt Lake in the title game and they were fortunate to defeat the Royals on penalties.
The Wizards welcome their rivals at Children’s Mercy Park, but they used to play some games at Blue Valley Sports Complex, Julian Field, Hermann Stadium and Durwood Soccer Stadium in the past as well. Sporting Kansas City were founded in 1995 and the club’s original name was Kansas City Wiz.
The Wizards wear navy blue shirts and dark blue shorts when playing at home, while the colour of their away kit is blue. Former Wigan Athletic man Roger Espinosa is regarded as one of the club’s most notable players and he has been playing for the Children’s Mercy Park outfit since 2015.
