THE PREDICTION

Sporting Kansas City come into this on the back of a 3-1 loss away to Real Salt Lake that means their inconsistent start is reflected in the results with a win, a draw and a defeat. They won their opening match with fewer shots and less possession, drew their second with the same stats and lost their third even worse stats. They come up against an Austin side that have begun their first ever season in MLS well with two wins and a defeat; that defeat came against one of the better MLS sides in recent seasons in LAFC. Given that strong start, an away win or draw double chance bet looks a solid one ahead of this encounter.
