Why bet on the Sporting KC?

Sporting KC is living a season to forget, there is no doubt about that. They are currently in second to last place in the MLS Western Conference and have nothing to play for in these final weeks of the regular season.

The team has displayed a great offense, scoring 50 goals in 32 games. However, their defense leaves much to be desired, as they have conceded 61 times, almost two per game.

Although they have nothing at stake, Sporting KC can be dangerous in this situation, as they are under no pressure and can be a thorn in the side of a team like LAFC that is still fighting for the top of the conference.

Sporting is coming off a loss in their most recent match against St. Louis City with a score of 1-3.

Why bet on the LAFC?

On the other hand, LAFC is still in the fight for the top of the standings with LA Galaxy, but, unfortunately, they do not depend on themselves to get that coveted first place in the table.

The team needs to win everything from now on and hope that the Galaxy loses all its remaining games, which are two, to have a chance to take over the top.

The team’s season has been positive, but there is a bittersweet mood as they had the chance of getting the first place comfortably and escaping with it, considering that they had much fewer games played than their competitors a couple of months ago. However, a rutt in form amidst the celebration of the Leagues Cup ruined everything.

At the time of writing, LAFC has a game in hand against St. Louis City at home, which, in theory, should win. As a result, the gap to the Galaxy at the top of the table could be reduced to just two points with two games left to play.
