Recent Matches

Sporting Kansas City played their most recent match over the weekend against Minnesota United, where they lost 2-0. Their overall record for their last five games is 3-2-0. They lost to both Minnesota United and FC Dallas in that stretch, while earning victories over the Portland Timbers, Real Salt Lake, and the New York Red Bulls.

Who’s Hot

Their defense has earned three clean sheets in their last five games and six total this season. Dom Dwyer has been their primary goal scorer, finding the back of the net four times in the team’s last five matches. However, Dwyer has been suspended due to yellow cards accumulated and he will not be playing in the match against Orlando City.

Who’s Not

Their offense wasn’t able to score in their last match against Minnesota United, and it will be even more difficult for Kansas City to find the back of the net without their top striker on the pitch.
