Betting on Sporting Kansas City
The local team arrives to this transcendental match after a goalless draw against Colorado FC. Despite the fact that they have yet to win the championship, Peter Vermes’ men are coming off an outstanding performance in the last matchday. The Colorado Rapids’ goalkeeper, William Yarbrough, became the first player in his club’s history to make at least 11 saves.
It will be Sporting KC’s first home game, as their other home game was at the Portland Timbers’ stadium. There, they lost by the minimum difference with a goal by the Colombian player, Juan David Mosquera. That was the second time in which Kansas had more scoring chances than its opponents, but still the team found it difficult to capitalize.
Between friendlies and official matches, it played six games and scored three points on only one occasion. It also kept a clean sheet on just one occasion. This is aligned with the defensive deficiencies shown last season, in which they finished second to last in the Western Conference.
Possible Lineup (4-4-2): John Pulskamp; Ben Sweat, Andreu Fontas, Robert Voloder, Graham Zusi; Daniel Salloi, Remi Walter, Roger Espinoza, Marinos Tzionis; Erik Thommy, William Agada.
Betting on LA Galaxy
Greg Vanney and company started the league with a tough loss. It ended up being a 1-3 loss against Dallas FC in their visit to Toyota Stadium. It was a fall that generates concern among the team’s followers, even more so after the painful elimination suffered in 2022 at the hands of Los Angeles FC, its fierce rivals.
Last season, Los Angeles Galaxy was the fourth-best team on the road, earning 22 points from 17 games played. Its rival, on the other hand, was one of the worst competitors at home; a statistic that, taking into account the odds, invites betting on an away win for this Sporting Kansas City vs LA Galaxy.
Possible Lineup (4-5-1): Jonathan Bond; Raheem Edwards, Chris Mavinga, Martin Caceres, Kelvin Leerdam; Memo Rodriguez, Marco Delgado, Riqui Puig, Gaston Brugman, Efrain Alvarez; Dejan Joveljic.
JefeBet Prediction
With the imperious need to win to get into the Playoffs, both teams will have to go in search of a goal from the first minute. In 2022, at the same venue, the home team won with a final score of 4-2, a precedent that generates illusion for this decisive clash.
With two teams that boast a top-notch attacking line, JefeBet predicts an away win and plenty of excitement in this Sporting Kansas City vs LA Galaxy match.
Prediction: Over (KAN 1-3 LAG).
