Our prediction for this MLS match:
St Louis City will be aiming to build on a 2-1 win over San Jose Earthquakes when they take on Sporting Kansas City in an eagerly-awaited MLS game. St Louis City are eleven points behind the playoffs berth, meaning that this has to go down as a must-win game for the home side. All Henry Kessler, Celio Pompeu, and Tomas Ostrak are out of contention with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
The Wizards, on the other hand, aim to recover from a 2-0 loss to Minnesota United. As the visitors want to keep their playoffs hopes alive as well, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. Serbia defender Nemanja Radoja remains in the recovery room, but he should be the only absentee in the away team. You should bear in mind that both teams have managed to find the net in each of their last six meetings in the Major League Soccer.
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.
