Sporting Kansas City at Minnesota United 5/20/18 - MLS Picks & Predictions

Minnesota United have been really bad so far in the season and are now coming into this match after having lost each of their previous two. They will now play host to Western Conference leaders Sporting Kansas City on Sunday, who have been doing a great job so far, and are coming off back to back wins.

Minnesota United (4-7-0) have been really hit-or-miss so far in the season and are coming off yet another loss. They were actually quite solid against the visiting San Jose Quakes, but their opponents took an early lead, and also scored two goals in the second half to eventually win by 3-1. Minnesota United are now sitting at the 7th spot of the Western Conference with 12 points, just one point outside the playoff spots. They have been rather shaky at home so far (3-2-0), where they have only kept a single clean sheet. Sporting Kansas City (7-2-2) prevailed in the battle of the Conferences, when they defeated Eastern Conference leaders Atlanta United by 2-0 on the road. They had some luck involved though, as their opponents were left with 10 men at the 34th minute, which paved the way for SKC’s success. Sporting Kansas City are still sitting at the top of the Western Conference with 23 points, three points ahead of LAFC who have played one less match. SKC have also been great on the road (3-1-1), where they have scored 10 goals, against 6 conceded.
