With the playoff battle heating up in the West, every next round will have huge consequences on the standings. One of the events that could impact the postseason is in Kansas City, where Sporting hosts Real Salt Lake. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The hosts took four points in the last two events, stopping a cold streak that saw them failing to win three in a row prior to all this. After beating the Whitecaps at home in Kansas, 3-0, SKC split a point each in Houston against Dynamo, 2-2. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
High efficiency is frequent when SKC plays, and eight of their last ten games saw three or more hits. Both teams netted in eight meetings during the same span, and the stats are similar when they play at Children’s Mercy Park. Peter Vermes and the boys don’t change tactics depending on the venue.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
