MLS: Sporting KC vs. Minnesota Prediction, Offshore Odds & Head-to-Head Stats (Sep 22)

Our Sporting KC vs. Minnesota prediction is for both teams to score and over 2.5 goals.

Sporting has the last chance to stay in the MLS play-in race as one of the direct rivals for that place comes to Kansas.

Minnesota is ninth, but if they lose here, the battle for that spot will only intensify.

Before Betting

SKC is noticeably better than before, and that especially goes for their performances at Children’s Mercy Park. In three events following the Leagues Cup, they have nothing but wins, one in the US Open Cup and two in the MLS.

In all those meetings, SKC netted at least twice. They were especially successful last Wednesday when we saw them rolling over the Colorado Rapids, 4-1.

Alan Pulido and Erik Thommy have netted a brace each, ripping apart Colorado’s back line and showing a fantastic performance.

Minnesota lost at home to FC Cincinnati, 1-2, in one of the round’s most anticipated events. Losing against one of the best teams in the East is not a disaster, especially when United showed a good battle.

After back-to-back wins, this defeat does present a setback, but the franchise from Minneapolis still holds everything in its hands.

Their four MLS games after the Leagues Cup ended with both teams netting over 2.5 goals. That’s Minnesota’s style, with them always wanting to score goals, even if that opens up the gaps in defense.

SKC’s games are also efficient, and when teams like these two meet, goals are bound to take place. That’s why our pick is over 2.5 goals and both units to score.
