Sporting Kansas City is coming into this match playing in good form in their recent matches. They are coming off of a 2-1 loss against Vancouver in their last match, but they have won 3 of their last 4 as well as 4 of their last 6 matches. Their attack has been very good in these matches as well, scoring at least 2 goals in 3 of their last 4 as well as 4 of their last 6 matches. When playing at home, they have been in much better form there as they have won their last 3 straight as well as 4 of their last 5 matches there, and their attack has been on fire as they have scored at least 2 goals in each of those 5 matches. Their only loss in that span was a 4-3 loss to Real Salt Lake, and they put up a very good fight to lose 4-3 against a team that is currently sitting in 5th in the MLS table overall. They are going up against a St Louis side that has not been in good form in their recent matches. They have lost their last 3 straight as well as 4 of their last 5 matches and they have also lost 6 of their last 8 matches with 1 in that span. Their defense has been awful as they have allowed at least 2 goals in each of their last 3 as well as 6 of their last 8 matches, and they have also allowed at least 4 goals in 2 of their last 3 as well as 3 of their last 5 matches. They have allowed 10 goals in their last 3 matches alone and have only scored 2 goals in that span as well. When playing away from home, they have been much worse as they have one of the worst away records in the league at 0-5-6 and they have lost their last 4 straight as well as 5 of their last 6 away matches, getting outscored 6-1 in their last 2 alone. Sporting KC has won 3 of the 6 matches between these two in their history with 2 losses and 1 draw, and they have won 2 of the 3 meetings at home as well. The only meeting they did not win was a 3-3 draw at home earlier this season, and Sporting KC has been in much better form recently than they were back then while St Louis has been much worse. Sporting Kansas City will win this match at home and collect all 3 points here.
