Seattle Sounders
Children’s Mercy Park will host Sunday’s football game between Sporting Kansas City and Seattle Sounders, the two bottom-table sides. The Wizards are stuck at the bottom of the standings and given their seven-game losing run in the Major League Soccer, home win should not be considered. All Erik Thommy, Danny Flores, Kayden Pierre, Remi Walter, and Logan Ndenbe are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
The Sounders, meanwhile, are undefeated in the previous three league matches. A close encounter is on the cards at Children’s Mercy Park and, taking everything into account, there is a big value in betting on draw. As for the away team, all Pedro De la Vega, Leo Chu, Nathan Cardoso, and Braudilio Rodrigues remain in the recovery room, while Cameroon defender Nouhou Tolo is on international duty. You should bear in mind that over 2.5 goals have been netted in ten of the previous eleven meetings between the two sides.
Highlighted Player (Albert Rusnak):
Born in Vyskov, Czech Republic on July 7, 1994, Slovakia international Albert Rusnak began his youth career in KAC Kosice. In 1997 he moved to MFK Kosice where he was talent-spotted by Manchester City scouts. However, he did not see any game action for the Citizens in the Premier League as he was immediately loaned to Oldham City.
After making only two appearances for the Latics, the Slovak moved to Birmingham City in 2014. After ending his loan spell with Cambuur, Albert Rusnak moved to FC Groningen in 2015 and it has to be noted that he scored nine goals in 61 appearances for the Dutch club in the Eredivisie.
In the winter of 2017 Rusnak joined MLS club Real Salt Lake for an undisclosed fee. Speaking of his international career, Albert Rusnak made his debut with the Slovakia national team on November 15, 2016 in a goalless draw with Austria. His father, also called Albert Rusnak, used to play football as well.
Highlighted Team (Sporting Kansas City):
Sporting Kansas City have been competing in Major League Soccer since 1996 and they won their first MLS Cup trophy in 2000. The club faced Chicago Fire at Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium in Washington in the play-offs final and Miklos Jon Molnar scored the winner for Bob Gansler’s team. 13 years later Sporting Kansas City met with Solt Lake in the title game and they were fortunate to defeat the Royals on penalties.
The Wizards welcome their rivals at Children’s Mercy Park, but they used to play some games at Blue Valley Sports Complex, Julian Field, Hermann Stadium and Durwood Soccer Stadium in the past as well. Sporting Kansas City were founded in 1995 and the club’s original name was Kansas City Wiz.
The Wizards wear navy blue shirts and dark blue shorts when playing at home, while the colour of their away kit is blue. Former Wigan Athletic man Roger Espinosa is regarded as one of the club’s most notable players and he has been playing for the Children’s Mercy Park outfit since 2015.
