Kansas City v LA Galaxy

Sporting Kansas vs LA Galaxy Preview

Sporting Kansas picked up their first win of this new MLS season last weekend with a 2-1 home win over San Jose Earthquakes which in turn extended the hosts' unbeaten start to this new term to four games, while LA Galaxy also extended their unbeaten start to this new MLS campaign to four games also as they were involved in a highly entertaining 3-3 draw at home with St Louis City last weekend.

Sporting Kansas and LA Galaxy both occupy places in the early top seven spots of the Western Conference thanks to their respective unbeaten starts to this season but it's Sporting Kansas who will be looking to gain the edge here at their Children's Mercy Park for this upcoming tussle and having lost just once in their last 10 matches overall, the hosts look in good shape to get a result here.

That singular defeat came in the form of a 1-0 loss away from home at Houston Dynamo towards the end of last season's campaign but Peter Vermes' side have made a solid start to this new term, gaining points in three draws before recording the aforementioned win against San Jose Earthquakes.

In addition, Sporting Kansas have lost just once in their last 11 home games.

LA Galaxy have also produced an encouraging start to this new MLS season as the visitors are also unbeaten after their opening four games which consists of three draws and a win and the visitors only sit in fifth spot in the Western Conference table by a slightly better goal difference.

Points picked up in draws with the likes of Inter Miami, Nashville and St Louis City have been boosted by a resounding 3-1 win away from home at San Jose Earthquakes, so there are certainly some similarities between the season starts of both Sporting Kansas and their visitors, LA Galaxy.

Wins overall though in the MLS have been hard to come by for Greg Vanney's side as The Galaxy have claimed just two wins from their last 14 matches overall which came in the shape of victories over Minnesota United 4-3 at home along with the aforementioned result over San Jose but they have also been involved in no fewer than eight stalemates and slipped to four defeats as well.

Having also managed to collect just three wins from their previous 20 outings on the road, LA Galaxy look to have their work cut out here at Children's Mercy Park against Sporting Kansas.

Sporting Kansas are unbeaten in their last seven meetings against LA Galaxy and having won eight of their last 11 home games, the hosts look set to take the spoils in this clash.
