Sporting KC met a couple of really bad losses in the semi-finals of the CONCACAF Champions League against Monterrey and their run ended there. They will now return to domestic duties when they will host the NY Red Bulls on Sunday. The Red Bulls have struggled mightily so far in the season.

Sporting KC (2-1-2) are coming off a massive 5-2 loss at home against Monterrey, and had also lost the first leg by 0-5 on the road. In their last MLS they split the points in a 1-1 draw on the road against Cincinnati. Sporting KC have actually been quite solid so far in the MLS, losing just one of their five matches. They are sitting at the 7th spot of the Western Conference with 8 points, two behind FC Dallas. The Red Bulls (1-3-1) are sliding badly right now, as they are coming off their third consecutive loss. They hosted Minnesota United in a tricky match, and their opponents took a two-goal lead with the Red Bulls only managing a consolation goal. That was their third loss in a row, scoring just once in that span. The Res Bulls are now at the 9th spot of the Eastern Conference with just 4 points after five matches.

The Red Bulls won by 2-3 at home in the only match these two played against each other last season. But it was their first win in the last five matches against Sporting KC (1-3-1). I will take my chances with the Under 2.75 Goals here, as the home team will be tired and the visitors will try to play it safe.
