Sporting KC Los Angeles betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

Needing to score points to improve their situation in the standings, the Sporting Kansas City team will have to give it all in this match. Los Angeles FC have been making a great campaign in their conference and come motivated for this showdown, so they should not just play to defense. The tendency is for the home team to go up, on the other hand the visitors may have spaces to counterattack. For this reason our betting suggestion will be that both teams score at least one goal each until the end of the 90 minutes of play.

Analysis Sporting KC

The home team comes to this stage of the MLS (Regular Season) after having eliminated Real Salt Lake with a away loss by (2‑0) in the previous round. This is a team that is often stronger at home, with the help of its supporters, so they usually make good use of the home advantage, since in the last 30 matches they register 3 wins, 5 draws and 7 losses in away matches; against 8 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses at their stadium. In the last 8 home league matches Sporting KC has a record of 3 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses, so they have won 12 points out of 24 possible. The most recurrent result at half‑time in their home league matches was the 1‑0 (3 out of 8 matches). They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition. There is a tendency for goals in their home matches, as 8 of the last 8 for this competition have ended with Over 1,5 goals. They have conceded the first goal in 8 of their 17 matches for this competition, and have never been able to turn the score around.

Sporting Kansas City's situation is complicated because they are not well in the competition and are aware that they will need to improve a lot if they want to keep dreaming about their goal, which is to enter the playoff zone. That will not be easy, as the team will face the conference leader. However, it is not impossible to defeat the leader, since they will play at home and will have the support of their fans, which may serve as an incentive.
The home team are not very technically qualified, but seek to rebound in the competition and could happen in overcoming. In their last clash, they beat Columbus Crew away from home, 1-0. They will do their best to keep up the good results and rise on the table. Manager Peter Vermes is also aware that many of the team's problems have to do with the large numbers of players in the medical department. The players are: Erik Hurtado, Jaylin Lindsey, Rodney Wallace, Roger Espinoza, Gianluca Busio, Jimmy Medranda, Johnny Russell and Graham Zusi.

Confirmed Lineup: Timothy Melia, Seth Sinovic, Andreu Fontàs, Matt Besler, Ilie Sánchez, Felipe Gutiérrez, Nicolas Hasler, Gerso Fernandes, Krisztián Németh, Dániel Sallói.
Coach: B. Feilhaber.

Analysis Los Angeles

The away team comes to this stage of the MLS (Regular Season) after a away loss by (1‑0) against Colorado Rapids. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 6 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses in away matches, with 28 goals scored and 19 conceded; against 11 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss at their stadium, with 38 goals scored and 16 conceded. In the last 9 away league matches Los Angeles FC has a record of 4 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses, so they have won 15 points out of 27 possible. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 17 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 7 times and have only turned the score around in 2.

Los Angeles FC are the isolated leader of the Western Conference, with a 6-point lead for the second-placed. Now they will face Sporting KC away from home. Of course they will play respecting the opposing team, but to win over any circumstance. Carlos Vela, top scorer of the competition so far with 16 goals, is the team's main weapon to overcome the opponent.
Los Angeles must win this match, because in their last, they ended up being defeated and are aware that if they want to achieve their goals, they will have to stop making mistakes. They are a very qualified team in which it is only up to them and they should win this confrontation. Bob Bradley should put in the field what is best in his squad and should not play to defend. With caution, but playing to win during the 90 minutes. The coach should not be able to count on players Danilo Silva, Javi Perez and Alejandro Guido, who are in the medical department.

Confirmed Lineup: Pablo Sisniega, Steven Beitashour, Jordan Harvey, Tristan Blackmon, Eddie Segura, Eduard Atuesta, Mark-Anthony Kaye, Diego Rossi, Christian Ramirez, Latif Blessing, Carlos Vela.
