Sporting KC welcome Dallas for another interesting Major League Soccer fixture here at Children's Mercy Park.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Sporting KC form and stats
OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Sporting KC's two home games in the Major League Soccer so far this season, having collected 3 points here at Children's Mercy Park.
Sporting KC travelled for their previous game, a trip to Colorado Rapids that ended 1-1. Preceding that match was the home game against Houston Dynamo that was lost 2-5.
The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Sporting KC matches with similar probabilities have ended with four wins, zero draws and two defeats (from six games).
The manager P. Vermes will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Houston Dynamo in only three days.
At Children's Mercy Park, Sporting KC has the goal stats of 6-5 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.
Dallas form and stats
Playing away, Dallas have won 0 games, drawn 1 and suffered 0 defeats in the Major League Soccer this season.
The supporters enjoyed Dallas's previous game versus Minnesota United (placed 3rd), a Major League Soccer 3-1 win played at home. Before that, Dallas travelled to Houston Dynamo and returned home with a draw after the game finished 0-0.
As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Dallas playing away, we found five games. Results were zero away wins, one draw and four home wins.
It's early days yet, but Dallas has scored 0 and conceded 0 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).
