Score Prediction:

One could possibly imagine a scenario where Sporting Kansas play throught the struggle and wins this encounter. However, that event would not be reasonable from what we have seen.

With Sporting KC coming off a loss and Houston Dynamo riding the momentum of a recent win, it's hard to imagine this match ending in anything other than a Houston victory or perhaps a dramatic last-minute draw.

One thing to highlight is that Sporting KC has to put some effort into their roster, because this would be another year in which they finish at the bottom of the standings; something has to change if they want to make an impression.

Score Prediction: Sporting KC 0-2 Houston Dynamo
