Prediction: 1-1
Sporting Kansas City
Buoyed by a 3-1 win over Los Angeles FC, Inter Miami will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they face Sporting Kansas City on Sunday. The hosts are hit by Leo Messi’s absence as the former Barcelona ace represents Argentina in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers and that is the main reason why home win should not be considered. All Ian Fray, Franco Negri, Corentin Jean, and Gregore are all out of contention with injuries.
The Wizards, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over San Jose Earthquakes and St Louis City, but given their difficulties on the road, we are tempted to put our money on draw. The visitors will be without Gadi Kinda, Stephen Afrifa, Kayden Pierre, Graham Zusi, and Kortne Thompson-Ford in Sunday’s clash. The two teams meet for the first time ever in the Major League Soccer.
Highlighted Player (Jordi Alba):
Jordi Alba is yet another product of Barcelona’s youth academy La Masia. The pacey full back, though, started playing for Valencia at senior level and after making 74 league appearances for los Che he returned to Barcelona in 2012.
He signed a five-year deal with Barca on 28 June, 2012 and he made his debut for the Catalan giants on 19 August in a 5-1 win over Real Sociedad. Alba won his third La Liga title with Barca in 2016 and it has to be noted that he participated in a 3-1 win over Juventus in the 2014/2015 Champions League final. The left-footed defender made his Spain debut on 11 October, 2011 and one year later he won the European Championship trophy with la Furia Roja.
He scored in the final against Italy. Jordi Alba has four caps for Spain U21 team and he played for Catalonia as well. The left back was born in L’Hospitalet de Llobregat on 21 March, 1989.
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.
