Los Angeles FC vs Sporting Kansas City Match Preview

Sporting Kansas City were agonisingly close to going all the way in the MLS Cup last year and these free-scorers away from home are worth keeping on side when they visit LAFC.

Peter Vermes’ team, who were the champions under their current manager in 2013, just missed out on last season’s final when they conceded a winner to Portland Timbers nine minutes into stoppage time.

It was a heartbreaking end for the Wizards, who towards the end of the regular campaign had enjoyed some big wins on their travels such as 5-1 in San Jose, 4-1 in Vancouver and 3-0 in Dallas.

Performances like those will stand them in good stead here, while Sporting are also unbeaten in their 2019 matches both competitive and otherwise – including in the CONCACAF Champions League.

LAFC, meanwhile, also got to the post-season in what was their first MLS campaign before losing to Real Salt Lake and have kept hold of their star men Carlos Vela and Adama Diomande.

But Bob Bradley’s side have not looked as secure as Sporting in pre-season, plus they have yet to get their competitive juices flowing unlike their opponents, so the visitors are backed to avoid defeat.
