Portland Timbers
Sporting Kansas City welcome Portland Timbers to Children’s Mercy Park on Saturday night, looking to build on their impressive 2-0 win over St. Louis City. The Wizards have been solid at home lately, making them a tough nut to crack, and will be confident despite the absence of important defender Daniel Rosero. Daniel Sallói and Alan Pulido will once again shoulder the attacking load as Sporting push for another positive result.
Portland Timbers, meanwhile, arrive in fine form. They’ve taken seven points from their last three games, including back-to-back wins over Colorado Rapids and Houston Dynamo, followed by a 2-2 draw with Austin. With both sides showing strong recent form and plenty of attacking quality, this has all the makings of a tightly-contested affair. Given Sporting’s home strength and Portland’s momentum, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw.
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.
