Sporting KC vs Chicago Preview & Picks 


Sporting Kansas had to really battle in a 1-1 draw with St Louis in their last outing as they took a point from their stubborn opponents. 

Chicago were beaten 2-1 by Inter Miami in their last match as they failed to build on their 1-0 win over Cincinnati in the game before. 

  • Sporting have won three of their last five matches
  • Chicago have lost four of their last seven games 

Head-To-Head


Sporting have won six of their last 10 meetings with their opponents. In this time, Chicago have secured three wins with one match ending as a draw. 

Sporting KC Form


Sporting KC have struggled in the MLS this season, with the side securing just six wins from their opening 26 matches. 

Despite this, Sporting arrive for the Leagues Cup in fairly good form, having won three of their last five matches. Their 1-1 draw with St Louis saw Sporting battle for all three points, although their stubborn opponents did prove a match for them. 

While Sporting have not been perfect this term, they have had the better of Chicago of late, winning six of their last 10 against their opponents, and we are backing them to notch another victory in their Leagues Cup opener. 

Chicago Form


Like Sporting, Chicago have struggled for wins in the MLS, with the side slipping down to 14th in the Eastern Conference after notching six victories. 

Their last match saw Chicago slip to a 2-1 loss at the hands of Inter Miami. While defeat to the Eastern Conference leaders was hardly surprising, it saw them fail to build on a draw with New York City and a win over Cincinnati. 

A win over Sporting in game one would be a major statement from the side, but it is tough to see them winning a match after struggling for consistent wins this term. 

Verdict

We are backing Sporting to win this one as they extend Chicago's disappointing run in all competitions.
