Los Angeles FC
There will be fireworks when Sporting Kansas City and Los Angeles FC take on each other at Children’s Mercy Park on Saturday evening. The Wizards have been impressive at home ground of late, with the team winning four of their last five home games. Sporting Kansas City have been playing some high-scoring games of late, and we are positive that they will stick to their attacking style of play against Los Angeles FC.
Mexico international Alan Pulido is widely expected to return to the starting XI. Los Angeles FC, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-0 win over FC Dallas. The visitors did well to return to winning ways in midweek, but they do not want to stop now. Carlos Vela impressed in the triumph over the Toros, and, taking everything into account, both teams to score betting option should be considered.
