Prediction: 3-1
Sporting Kansas City
Orlando City will be aiming to build on a thrilling 4-1 win over Messi-less Inter Miami when they face Sporting Kansas City at their Inter&Co Stadium. The Lions have been producing excellent performances in MLS of late and, as a result, the bookies see them as hot favourites to win Sunday’s encounter. Bear in mind, though, that Uruguay midfielder Cesar Araujo serves a one-game ban due to the accumulation of yellow cards.
The Wizards, on the other hand, head into the match following a 2-0 loss to San Diego FC. As Sporting Kansas City have been struggling both offensively and at the back in recent weeks, home win should be considered. Midfielder Erik Thommy remains in the recovery room, but the 30-year-old should be the only absentee in the visiting team this time out. In their last meeting in the Major League Soccer, Sporting Kansas City defeated Orlando City 3-0, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge.
Highlighted Team (Orlando City):
Orlando City are a member of the Eastern Conference in Major League Soccer. The Lions have been participating in the major league since 2015 and they host their rivals at Orlando City Stadium. The venue was opened in February, 2017 and the construction of the stadium cost $155 million. Orlando City finished the 2015 MLS season in seventh place in the Eastern Conference and they failed to make it to the play-offs in the 2016 season as well (8th place).
Brazilian ace Kaka is undisputedly the club’s most famous player and the former Real Madrid and Milan man became the highest-paid player in MLS history. His base salary was $6.6 million per year and it has to be noted that the Brazilian superstar found the net on his Orlando City debut against FC Dallas (friendly). Orlando City’s home kit is violet, while they wear white and violet shirts and white socks on the travels. The club’s official mascot is Kingston the Lion.
