Our prediction for this MLS match:
Sunday’s football game at Q2 Stadium pits together Austin FC and Sporting Kansas City. Los Verdes aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Houston Dynamo and they are surely capable of beating the out-of-sorts visitors in front of home fans. Costa Rica defender Julio Cascante is banned for the match, while both Guilherme Biro and Ethan Finlay remain in the treatment room.
The Wizards, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form and given their three-game losing run in the Major League Soccer, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on Austin FC. In their last meeting at the venue los Verdes defeated the Wizards 2-1, which goes in favour of our earlier prediction. As for the away team, all Kayden Pierre, Remi Walter, Daniel Rosero, and Logan Ndenbe are sidelined with injuries.
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.
