Our prediction for this MLS match:
Sporting Kansas City and Inter Miami take on each other at Children’s Mercy Park in what is expected to be a close encounter. The Wizards have been involved in some high-scoring games of late, with the team beating Toronto 3-1, while playing out a thrilling 3-3 draw with Portland Timbers and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be William Agada, who scored a brace at the weekend, while both Johnny Russell and Logan Ndenbe remain in the recovery room.
The Herons, on the other hand, failed to win the previous five games in all competitions and given their shaky defence, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on the home team. In their last meeting in MLS Inter Miami defeated Sporting Kansas City 3-2, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge. All Robert Taylor, Yannick Bright, Federico Redondo, Sergiy Kryvtsov, Robbie Robinson, Facundo Farias, and Ian Fray should miss out with injuries, but Leo Messi is back for the visitors.
Highlighted Player (Lionel Messi):
Lionel Messi is regarded as one of the best players in the history of football. He was born on 24 June, 1987 in Rosario and he began his football career at Newell’s Old Boys. At age 10 he was diagnosed with a growth hormone deficiency, but having realized his potential at a young age, Barcelona decided to pay for his treatment.
Messi joined Barca in 2001 and he has been playing for the Camp Nou outfit ever since. The Argentine magician has won eight La Liga trophies with Barca and he helped the Catalan giants lift no less than four Champions League titles (2005/2006, 2008/2009, 2010/2011, 2014/2015).
In the 2011/2012 La Liga campaign Messi scored 50 goals for Barca, while netting 14 goals in the 2011/2012 Champions League campaign. The five-time Golden Ball award winner has established himself as Barcelona’s all-time top scorer, but he has yet to win a trophy with Argentina national team at major tournaments. Leo Messi, though, has won Olympic Gold Medal (2008) and FIFA World Youth Championship (2005), with la Albiceleste.
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.
