Trying to revive
On the other hand, Sporting Kansas City has had a tough start to the season, as in 12 games played they have only won one game, allowed 16 goals and only managed to score 5 in their favor. These bad results have caused Sporting Kansas City to be positioned in the last place of their conference, however, the good news is that there is still a long campaign to go so maybe things will change at the end of the season, the truth is that they will have to adjust from now on since they cannot allow more mistakes that end up costing points.
They want to surprise
LAFC is having a dream start to the season since, in addition to being in the Grand Final of the CONCACAF Champions League, they are also at the top of the general table of their competition, behaving like true champions. LAFC will have to win all their games, as in a couple of days the Angelinos will be playing for international glory, so it is important to get positive results to raise their spirits for such an important match.
The most exciting actions are in MLS
One of the most exciting tournaments in soccer today is back, Major League Soccer or MLS is back with all the actions to look for the new monarch to be crowned in the United States and represent the entire nation in the next CONCACAF Champions League where they seek glory at international level to be the number 1 of the entire confederation. In this match, the current champions LAFC will host Sporting Kansas City in what will be the 13th round of the MLS in what will be a totally unequal duel of realities because while one enjoys being in the Grand Final of the Concachampions and is at the top of its conference, the other is at the bottom of the general table and needs to start getting wins if it wants to aspire to something at the end of the season, however, it would be a good step taken by beating the current champions at home and with people.
Kick-off time
The LAFC vs Sporting Kansas City match will be played at Banc of California Stadium, in L.A, USA. The kick-off is scheduled at 22:30 pm ET.
