Sporting Kansas City vs Houston Dynamo
📖 The Preview
Sporting Kansas City are rooted to the bottom of the table and desperately need points, which can actually spark something at home, and that's essentially the story of this 2-1. Houston come in with genuinely good recent form and will nick a goal, but Kansas City's backs-against-the-wall situation drives them to just about edge it on home soil. The head-to-head slightly favours Houston, and they won't go quietly, but expect both sides to score in what should be a tense, open affair that Kansas City shade.
