Sporting Kansas City desperately need points on Sunday, Aug 30 at 2:30 AM in the MLS. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.
Sporting Kansas City come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 1D 2L). Vancouver Whitecaps, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (2W 2D 1L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks. Sporting Kansas City head into this on the back of a defeat, while Vancouver Whitecaps arrive off a win — momentum clearly with the visitors.
Despite playing at home, Sporting Kansas City face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Vancouver Whitecaps have won 7 of 10 encounters, with 1 draws. Their last encounter ended in Sporting Kansas City won 0–3. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 2.8 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Sporting Kansas City a slight edge, but Vancouver Whitecaps are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
