Sporting KC team news and form: -11 goal ratio by Sporting
There are only two Western Conference teams with worse statistics than Sporting KC – San Jose Earthquakes and St. Louis City. That being said, we still expect coach Vermes’ boys to snatch at least a point away from Orlando City on the 25th of August.

Orlando City team news and form: Mediocrity travels with Lions
With nine wins, seven draws, and nine losses in MLS this season, Orlando City are definitely not doing their best to prove they have what it takes to become champions. Coach Pareja has had difficulties in the past trying to get the better of this opponent, which is surely a plus in favor of our top Sporting KC vs Orlando City predictions.

Player to watch: Duncan McGuire
McGuire missed a couple of games for the Lions, as he had to represent the USMNT during the Olympics in France. However, he is still the 2nd-best finisher on the team, with seven MLS goals scored already. Surely, he will do his best to prove our Sporting KC vs Orlando City predictions wrong.
Second player to watch: Willy Agada
Speaking of amazing finishers – Agada is the best one for Sporting KC this season. He slid it past the shot-stoppers on nine occasions and is still in the fight for the Top Goalscorer Award at the end of the season.
