Sporting Kansas City

The team plays in the Western Conference and is a cellar dweller not only in the West but in the entire MLS. In 16 matches, Sporting has accumulated only 11 points—they are at the bottom of their conference and second-to-last in the entire league. In my opinion, the main reason for this is their unreliable defense. Over 16 games, they have conceded 31 goals, almost two per game. Even the league's bottom team, New England Revolution, has conceded 27.

However, their attacking situation is not the worst—they have scored 24 goals. Even Seattle has scored fewer (19). In their last five MLS matches, Kansas City has consistently conceded two goals per game. Overall, in their last five matches, Sporting has won only once—this was in the Round of 16 of the US Open Cup against a lower-division team. The other four matches resulted in losses.

Seattle Sounders

The team is currently in the lower part of the Western Conference standings. Seattle is on the verge of the playoff zone, with 18 points from 16 matches. These are not very good results for a team that reached the quarterfinals of the MLS playoffs last season. However, they are only two points away from the playoff zone, and Seattle has a game in hand compared to their direct competitors. Seattle's attack has not been impressive, with 19 goals in 16 matches, the third-worst record in the Western Conference.

On the other hand, the Sounders have a solid defense, conceding 19 goals in 16 matches—the second-best record in the West. In terms of form, Seattle is gradually finding their rhythm. In their last five matches: two draws, two wins, and only one loss. If they continue to improve, it's quite possible to see the Sounders in the playoffs.

Interesting facts about the match and head-to-head history

• The last head-to-head match between these teams ended in a 1-1 draw.
• Sporting Kansas City has lost seven matches in a row. Sporting Kansas City has lost eight of their last nine matches.
• Sporting Kansas City has conceded in 13 consecutive matches. Sporting Kansas City has conceded in their last eight home matches.

Sporting Kansas City vs Seattle Sounders prediction

Sporting is currently in obviously poor form. Conversely, Seattle is beginning to secure results and points. While I am convinced that Kansas City will put up a fight, especially since they are playing at home, I also believe that the Sounders will definitely score, as Kansas has conceded in 13 consecutive games, all of them at home. Therefore, my bet is on the individual total for the visitors to be over one goal with odds of 1.56.
