Venue: Children's Mercy Park (21650 seats)

Season ticket holders at Children's Mercy Park haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Sporting KC languishing in the 11th position so far. The guesting Vancouver Whitecaps will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Major League Soccer.

This stadium uses grass, unlike Vancouver Whitecaps's home stadium. The visitors last 32 games on grass have ended in 11 wins, 6 draws and 15 losses. It's quite the trip for Vancouver Whitecaps when visiting Sporting KC as the cities are 3100 kilometers apart.
