Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 2-1
Minnesota United
Sporting Kansas City and Minnesota United face each other at Children’s Mercy Park in what is expected to be an interesting MLS game. The Wizards quickly bounced back from a 2-0 loss to Seattle Sounders, with the team beating Colorado Rapids 4-1 in their last league match and, no doubt, the triumph gave them a confidence boost. A man to watch in the home team will be Mexico forward Alan Pulido, who scored a brace at the weekend, while both Joaquin Fernandez and Nemanja Radoja remain in the recovery room.
The Loons, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 2-1 loss to Cincinnati and seeing that Sporting are desperate to revive their playoffs hopes, we are tempted to place our bets on the Wizards. In their last meeting at the venue Sporting Kansas City defeated Minnesota United 3-1, which goes in favour of our earlier prediction.
