Sporting Kansas City is coming into this match with a heavy trend to the over in their recent matches. They have gone over 2.5 goals in their last 7 straight as well as 14 of their last 15 matches. Their defense has been awful in these matches as they have allowed at least 2 goals in each of their last 3 as well as 5 of their last 6 matches, but their attack has also been very consistent as they have scored at least 1 goal in each of their last 7 matches. When playing at home, they have gone over 2.5 goals in their last 8 straight matches there with their attack being great but their defense being awful in those. Their attack has been very good at home this season as they have scored at least 2 goals in 6 of their last 8 matches, scoring at least 1 goal in each of those, but their defense has also allowed at least 2 goals in 5 of their last 7 matches there. They are going up against a Seattle Sounders side that has also been trending to the over in their recent matches. They have gone over 2.5 goals in 2 of their last 3 matches and they have been in much better form as well, winning 2 of their last 3 matches with no losses. When playing away from home, this trend has actually been stronger this season as they have gone over 2.5 goals in 4 of their last 5 matches. Their attack has been very good in these as they have scored at least 2 goals in 3 of their last 4 away matches, but their defense has also allowed at least 2 goals in 3 of their last 5 away matches, allowing at least 1 goal in each. Even when these two meet, they have gone over 2.5 goals in their last 2 straight as well as 10 of their last 11 meetings, and neither side is really missing too many key pieces in this match either. Kansas City has been in awful form recently and allowing a lot of goals so this Seattle attack is going to find the net here as they have been scoring goals away from home, but Seattle has not been great on defense themselves and Sporting KC has also been scoring a lot of goals at home as well as being desperate for a win in this match. Between these two sides, there will be enough goals in this match to push it over 2.5 goals.
