The MLS Western Conference is making a splash as the season gets underway, with the newcomers, St. Louis City sweeping by winning all its games, so even if it were to lose this weekend, it would still be in first place.
On Saturday, March 25, Sporting Kansas City vs Seattle Sounders will take place. The home team is among the worst teams and the visitors are among those in contention for the top of the standing.
The squad from Kansas is among the four Western Conference teams that have not recorded any victories yet, and it will need to end that streak here to avoid last place. Seattle, on the other hand, has not been at its best in the last two weeks, and needs to get three points again to keep pace with the leader.

Betting on Sporting Kansas City
Sporting KC continues to struggle as it did last season, when it finished 12th in the Western Conference with 40 points after a record of 11 wins, seven draws, and 16 losses. Their situation at the moment is deplorable, as they have not been able to win in four games, with two draws and two defeats to their credit.
On the weekend they lost 2-1 to FC Dallas and the only good thing about that game was that they managed to score for the first time this campaign. Kansas is relieved to know that it still has a chance to create a positive statistic, as it has yet to lose at home after a goalless draw in its only home game. In doing so, it maintains a seven-game unbeaten streak at home.
Possible Lineup (4-3-3): John Pulskamp; Graham Zusi, Robert Voloder, Andreu Fontàs, Ben Sweat; Róger Espinoza, Rémi Walter, Erik Thommy; Khiry Shelton, William Agada, Dániel Sallói.
Betting on the Seattle Sounders
The start of the season has been good for the Seattle Sounders. They started off strong with back-to-back wins over the Colorado Rapids and Real Salt Lake, but then suffered their first loss to Cincinnati. Prior to this match, they played to a goalless draw against the reigning MLS champions, LAFC, which will surely serve as a confidence boost.
So far, they have three clean sheets and only one goal allowed, which speaks of a good defensive performance. They went scoreless in their last two games, but still rank among the top scoring teams in the Western Conference with six goals. The only thing that may raise doubts before this Sporting Kansas City vs Seattle Sounders duel is that the only defeat they have suffered was away.
Possible Lineup (4-1-4-1): Stefan Frei; Alex Roldán, Yeimar Gómez Andrade, Xavier Arreaga, Nouhou Tolo; João Paulo; Cristian Roldán, Albert Rusnák, Nicolás Lodeiro, Jordan Morris; Raúl Ruidíaz.
JefeBet Prediction
The Seattle Sounders have not won an away game since July 2022, and are on a ten-game losing streak, with five consecutive losses. Victories are hardly expected when they do not play at home, but what could be expected for this Sporting Kansas City vs Seattle Sounders match is a draw.
Prediction: Draw by a score of 0-0.
