Los Angeles FC vs. Sporting Kansas City Opening Odds
Game Preview
Steve Cherundolo’s squad restarted the season perfectly, winning El Trafico 0-3 and then beating Real Salt Lake 3-1. LAFC’s high-octane attack features dynamic golden-boot contender Denis Bouanga and French star striker Olivier Giroud, with the addition of Korean superstar Son Heung-min.
The Black and Gold are ruthless at home, where they make 14 goal attempts per game, pressing the rivals throughout all 90 minutes. They had a poor run before the World Cup break, yet after that, things seemed to click for LAFC.
The only good thing for SKC is their recent win over Minnesota United. It was 2-1 for Sporting, who previously lost to St. Louis on the road 3-2 seven days ago.
Having conceded 40 goals through 16 matches, Peter Vermes’ backline is the worst in the Western Conference. In 6 of their previous 10 matches, they conceded at least two goals.
LAFC vs. Sporting Kansas City Head to Head
LAFC hasn’t lost to SKC in the last 10 matches, which is an incredible stretch. Right now, they are on a three-game winning streak against Sporting.
LAFC vs. Sporting Kansas City Predictions
Given LAFC’s super attack and SKC’s terrible defense, we pick the home team to win here and to cover a 1.5-goal spread. For those who want to take a bit of a risk, LAFC to score at least twice in the opening 45 minutes is a great choice.
