These two rivals go head to head as they look to determine who would finish the season as the top team in the Western Conference, so we expect a lot of fireworks on display in this game.
Sporting KC are currently top of the Western Conference after securing a 3-0 win last weekend. LA FC on their part played out a 2-2 home draw against Vancouver Whitecaps, so they would be looking for all three points here so they can finish ahead of their rivals.
With ten goals each in the league this season Russell and Salloi joint top score for Sporting KC, and the duo are going to need to remain fit and in form if Sporting KC are to progress and possibly win the playoffs. With thirteen goals in his debut season in the MLS Carlos Vela has lead from the front for LAFC, but teammates Diomande and Rossi are just a goal behind the Mexican and could still claim the crown of the clubs top scorer on Sunday.
Both teams have only lost one of their last six matches, and have each drawn two of their last six in the MLS. LAFC haven’t failed to score in any of their last six matches, while Sporting KC have only failed to score in one of their last six and that’s why we’re expecting both teams to score on Sunday.
