Player to watch: Dejan Joveljic
Serbian goalscoring machine Joveljic had a fantastic 2024 Major League Soccer campaign. All the more reason we wonder why LA Galaxy opted to part ways with the 25-year-old sensation. He is now under coach Peter Vermes’ guidance, which is a plus in favor of our top Austin vs Sporting KC predictions.
Second player to watch: Brad Stuver
33-year-old Brad Stuver will struggle to keep a clean sheet on Sunday. Stuver is a starter for his team but he will have to be at his lethal best if he wants to have a memorable game.
