San Diego FC vs Sporting Kansas City Prediction

Their previous meeting this season was a 0-0 draw in San Diego, and both teams have never met before in the past.

In this San Diego FC vs Sporting Kansas City, San Diego is coming as -105 road favorites. San Diego is rightfully favored, as they have almost twice as many points as Kansas City this season, and have been the best team in the West. But San Diego has won only once in their last three road games, and have been playing in the League’s Cup, where they also went 1-2 in their 3 games played. San Diego has three extra games played since the break of the MLS, and I think tiredness will get to them, so I like the hosts to keep this one close. Take Sporting Kansas City by +0.5 goals in this one.
