Match preview
After both were victories last weekend, can either kick-start a late play-off push?
Sporting Kansas City demolished Portland Timbers 4-1 at Provide Park a week ago with William Agada, Andreu Fontàs and Erik Thommy all on target.
This means SKC are the first team ever to score 3+ in three successive MLS first halves.
Also, Agada has now scored five times in his first five MLS matches for the club, matching Felipe Gutiérrez and Miklos Molnar’s joint-record.
Nevertheless, Peter Vermes’ men actually remain at the foot of the west, eight points below the play-off line.
San Jose Earthquakes meantime defeated run-away league-leaders LAFC last weekend.
Given the position of the two Californian clubs, this was a major surprise, although the Quakes have now won four successive home games against LA.
That was San Jose’s first win since a Cali Clásico win over the Galaxy on 13 July, leaving them down in 12th.
Who will claim three much needed points at Children’s Mercy Park?
