📋 Team News: Sporting Kansas City
It’s our opinion that SKC will probably opt for a 4-3-3 formation featuring John Pulskamp, Andrew Brody, Jansen Miller, Robert Voloder, Logan Ndenbe, Manu García, Jacob Bartlett, Nemanja Radoja, M. Suleymanov, Dejan Joveljić and Dániel Sallói.
🗞️ Team News: Los Angeles Galaxy
Los Angeles Galaxy manager Greg Vanney has to choose a team with limited availability. Mauricio Cuevas (Muscle injury), Riqui Puig (Cruciate ligament tear), Maya Yoshida (Muscle injury) and Marco Reus (Knee injury) are names that won’t be on the team sheet.
We are inclined to think that The Galactics might begin the game with a 4-2-3-1 lineup, starting John McCarthy, Miki Yamane, Carlos Garcés, Zanka, John Nelson, Isaiah Parente, Edwin Cerrillo, Gabriel Pec, Diego Fagundez, Joseph Paintsil and Christian Ramirez.
💡 Prediction
It seems to us that Los Angeles Galaxy could really find it hard to find the net against a Sporting Kansas City lineup who should be able to fashion the chances to find the net multiple times while not conceding.
We’re tipping a comprehensive 3-0 winning scoreline for Sporting Kansas City at full-time.
