Sporting Kansas City Preview – Four in a row for the Wizards?
Peter Vermes’ Sporting Kansas City have made a solid start to their 2021 MLS season. Overall, the Wizards have picked up five wins, drawn once and lost twice.
Kansas kicked off the new campaign with a win over New York Red Bulls before drawing at home with Orlando City. They then suffered two defeats in three before going on a three-game winning run.
Since a 1-0 loss to Houston Dynamo in mid-May, Kansas have secured back-to-back wins over Vancouver Whitecaps, San Jose Earthquakes and Houston. Can they make it four on the spin with victory over Austin this Saturday?
Austin Preview – Can Verde seal a first win in five?
New franchise Austin have had a tough start to life in MLS. They opened up with a 2-0 loss at Los Angeles before back-to-back wins over Colorado Rapids and Minnesota United. Unfortunately for Josh Wolff and his men, it has pretty much gone downhill from then on.
Verde have taken just one point from the last 12 on offer, losing three and drawing one. They picked up a handy 0-0 draw at Seattle Sounders last time out, which stopped a run of three straight losses to Kansas, LA Galaxy and Nashville.

Sporting Kansas City vs Austin Betting Advice
The matchup at Children’s Mercy Park last month was the first ever meeting between Kansas City and Austin. Jon Gallagher gave the away team an early lead, but the game was turned on its head when Alexander Ring was sent off midway through the second half. Late goals from Ilie Sanchez and Gadi Kinda earned City a 2-1 win.
Key Facts – Sporting Kansas City vs Austin Betting Tip
- Kansas City have picked up three wins in a row
- Austin have taken just one point from the last 12 on offer
- This will be the second meeting between the pair in a month
Sporting are in red-hot form, winning three on the spin since a 1-0 loss at Houston. In fact, they are one of the form teams in MLS, winning four of the last five. Austin have struggled of late, and we fancy Kansas to secure a second league win of the season over Verde at the weekend.
Despite flying high in the table, Kansas have managed to keep just one clean sheet this term, so we are backing Austin to find the net in this one. With that in mind, take a punt on the home win and both teams to score at 5/2.
