Sporting Kansas vs Seattle Sounders Prediction: Another low scoring affair

Sporting Kansas have another chance to grab a first win in the new campaign as they welcome Seattle Sounders to the Children's Mercy Park for round 5. Kansas are playing their second game on home turf this season and hopefully they can pick up a positive result after a draw in the first home against LA Galaxy earlier. Seattle Sounders have also shown signs of struggles in recent times, as they have not won their last 2 matches despite winning the opening two games of the season.

Sporting Kansas are among the poorest teams currently. In all 4 matches this season, they recorded 2 losses and 2 draws. First they lost 1-0 to Portland on opening day, and then played back-to-back draws against Colorado Rapids and LA Galaxy, before losing 2-1 against FC Dallas in their last game. In their last 5 matches, they have 1 win, 2 draws and 2 losses.

Against Dallas, Sporting Kansas were first to score in the 11th minute, before Dallas grabbed a double in the 55th and 84th minute of the match. At the end of 90 minutes, Kansas had 48% possession, 5 shots on target and 4 corner kicks.

Sporting Kansas are currently in 13th on the western conference table, with 2 points from 4 matches.

Team Streaks:- no wins (4), less than 4.5 cards (10/10), more than 4.5 cards (⅘).

Seattle Sounders will be worried about their recent results despite starting the season with 2 wins on the bounce. They lost to 10 men Cincinnati and then played a 0-0 draw against Los Angeles FC in their last game. So in all 4 games, they have 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss. And in the last 5 matches, they have 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss.

Against Los Angeles, Seattle Sounders were behind based on stats, with 43% possession, 3 shots on target and 4 corner kicks at the end of 90 minutes.

Seattle Sounders are currently 3rd in the western conference table, with 7 points from 4 matches. 

Team Streaks:- less than 4.5 cards (8/10), less than 10.5 corners (5/7).

Sporting Kansas and Seattle have met 20 times over the years. Sporting Kansas won 10 matches, while Seattle Sounders won 6 matches and 4 matches ended in a draw.

• More than 2.5 goals scored in 8/9 meetings.
• Both teams scored in 7/9 meetings.
• Sporting Kansas opened scoring in 7/9 meetings.
• Sporting Kansas won the first half in 7/9 meetings.
• Less than 4.5 cards were shown in ⅘ meetings.
• Less than 10.5 corners played in ⅘ meetings.

Sporting Kansas City may be in horrible form but this doesn't look like an easy game for the Seattle side. Sporting Kansas don't concede many goals and their last game at home ended 0-0. Now, with Seattle Sounders struggling in the last 2 matches, and playing a 0-0 draw in the last match, I think we are going to see a low scoring encounter here. Kansas needs a win badly and they'll frustrate the opposition by playing tight and hope to snatch a narrow win.
