Major League Soccer (MLS) continues on its second day of the 2021 season when Sporting Kansas City host Orlando City SC at Sporting Park Stadium this Friday, April 23, 2021. Like all teams, Kansas City and Orlando seek to add 3 points from the beginning to be a little calmer as the tournament progresses. We are sure that this game will be very exciting and it will not allow us to spend a quiet minute watching it on TV.
How did Kansas City and Orlando get here?
Sporting Kansas City comes into this game with a victory in their first meeting of the season against the New York Red Bulls. That is why Kansas City seeks to continue on the right foot at this start of the season and thus take over the first places in the western conference. In this game against NY, Kansas managed to divide the honors in terms of possession of the ball, exactly 50%. The game, despite observing 3 goals on the scoreboard, 2 from Kansas City and 1 from New York, was purely defensive. KC managed to generate only 8 scoring chances with 3 shots on target, while his rival generated 12 scoring chances and an equal number of shots on goal.

On the other side, we have the visiting team of this game, Orlando City, who is coming off a 0-0 draw in their first MLS game in the 2021 season against Atlanta United. In this match, the defences of both teams took the breed, as they only allowed their rivals to achieve 3 shots on target. Orlando had 40% ball possession and 11 scoring chances generated. A point to highlight today of the team led by Oscar Pareja is that they had managed to score at least one goal in their last 6 games played, something that Atlanta United avoided at all costs.
The Orlando City coach only has one concern for this game, since he will not be able to count on the veteran João Moutinho since he is injured, nor with Mauricio Pereyra due to a suspension.
