Sporting Kansas City vs Inter Miami Preview & Picks
Sporting Kansas City arrive for their eighth MLS match of the season on the back of a disappointing 3-3 draw with Portland Timbers on their own patch.
Inter Miami have struggled of late, with the side limping into this one following a 3-1 loss to Monterrey in the CONCACAF Champions League.
- Sporting have drawn twice at home this season (W1, L1)
- Inter have drawn their last two league games
- Sporting have seen both teams score in their last four
- Miami have seen both teams score in their last two league matches
Head-To-Head
The pair have met once before, with Inter running out 3-2 winners back in 2023.
Sporting Kansas City saw a 3-0 lead disappear before their eyes last week as they allowed the Portland Timbers to mount an impressive second-half comeback to snatch a point in a game that looked lost for the latter.
While Sporting were excellent in the first-half, they lost all of their composure in the second 45, with their defence not at the races, with this costing KC two points. This draw leaves Sporting sitting in seventh on the ladder with 10 points, three short of the Vancouver Whitecaps at the summit.
With the home side looking to bounce back from their disappointing draw at the weekend, we predict that Sporting will struggle to juggle scoring goals and keeping them out of their own net, with the home outfit having to settle for another point.
Inter Miami have found wins tough to come by of late, with their last five games in all competitions resulting in three defeats and two draws.
Their 3-1 loss to Monterrey in midweek saw Inter beaten 5-2 on aggregate by their opponents, and they must now try to juggle defeat in the week along with their squad playing once again this weekend with fatigue surely settling in.
With two draws in their last two league games, we are backing Inter to take a point from this one as their wait for a win goes on.
