Prediction: 2-2
Orlando City
All eyes will be on Children’s Mercy Park when Sporting Kansas City and Orlando City go head to head on Thursday morning. The Wizards experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 3-2 loss to Dallas, with the team dropping to second position in the standings. Sporting Kansas City are eager to overtake leaders Seattle Sounders, and they are likely to adopt an attack-minded approach in the midweek clash.
Keep in mind, though, that the likes of Espinosa, Gutierez, and Reid are sidelined with injury, while Salloi and Sanchez are rated doubtful for the match. The Lions, on the other hand, have been showings signs of improvement of late, with the team recording back-to-back wins over Inter Miami and Chicago Fire. Orlando City are high on confidence ahead of the trip to Kansas City, and given their attacking potential, both teams to score betting option should be considered. Both Moutinho and Dwyer are injured for the visitors.
