Nashville host bottom seeded Sporting KC in a match that favors a surging Nashville team, and is misfortunate for a reeling KC squad.

To pile onto KC's bad run this season run lately, they also have to play this upcoming Wednesday in the US Open Cup QuarterFinals, so their starters may not start or play many minutes today.

KC happens to be on of the worst defenses this season as well, allowing an average of 1.75 goals a game. They are also the worst scoring offense this season, with only 14 goals thus far.

I see Nashville winning this match and vaulting into the top 5 of the MLS West, as KC puts focus towards the US Open Cup Tournament to increase their outlook on the poor start to the season.

Prediction: 2 - 0 Nashville
