Children’s Mercy Park will host a clash between two sides heading in very different directions as Sporting Kansas City attempt to end a three-game losing streak against Los Angeles FC. Sporting's latest setback came in a thrilling 4-3 defeat to FC Dallas, and their home record offers little encouragement, with just a 20% win rate and only 0.80 goals scored per game. Emir Karic picked up a knock against Dallas, with Jayden Reid likely to step up.
Los Angeles FC are in better form after a 2-0 victory over New York Red Bulls. The Black and Gold have been defensively solid lately, conceding just 0.80 goals per game across their last 10 matches, while keeping clean sheets in 40% of their away fixtures. However, LAFC have scored only 0.80 goals per away game, so another high-scoring performance is far from guaranteed. Hasal, Porteous and Tillman remain sidelined.
As Sporting's poor form makes the visitors appealing, we are tempted to bet on Home Win, alongside Sporting to Score First and Over 1.5 goals (94% of their H2Hs have cleared this line).
This MLS match will be played on Sunday 13 September 2026 at 01:30.
