Seattle Sounders host Sporting KC in an MLS game, with the home side having just won 3-1 in their last match, while Sporting KC also just won 2-0 in their own last match. But the paths the two teams have taken are clearly different: Seattle Sounders are unbeaten in 5 straight, while Sporting KC have lost 3 of their last 5. Seattle Sounders pick up points consistently at home, but their defence still has visible weak points, especially late in games when they concede often. Sporting KC, meanwhile, have clear problems in defence all season, having conceded 63 goals in 26 matches, but their attack can still score steadily even in many of the games they lose. This game should be open and end-to-end, because both teams tend to concede rather than shut games down. If Sporting KC defend in an organised way and use their counter-attacking moments well, the game may not finish with a big margin as many people think.
