Sporting Kansas City vs FC Dallas preview

This match will take place on 07/07/2024 at Children’s Mercy Park. Kick off will be at 7:30 PM local time.

This game will be seen as a clear opportunity for the SKC boys to bounce back following that agonizingly late defeat in Colorado on Thursday evening.

Despite taking a second-half lead through the dependable and dangerous Johnny Russell, Peter Vermes' men left the Dick’s Sporting Goods park empty-handed, thanks in no small part to conceding a 94th-minute penalty.

Back on home soil, though, they’ll fancy themselves to bounce back, especially as they’ve picked up a few home wins of late, such as when they got the better of Austin FC in promising style a few weeks ago.

For the visitors, well, they won’t be looking to bounce back. Instead, they’re looking to secure back-to-back wins for just the third time this season.

Prior to their last-minute victory against the Portland Timbers in the week, scoring three second half goals to get the job done, Nico Estevez’s men had lost two on the spin.

Unfortunately, they don’t exactly take with them a promising record ahead of their trip to Kansas City, losing three of their last four road games, none of which they’ve won.

Sporting Kansas City vs FC Dallas picks

Ahead of this fixture, just the one bet appeals as a solid pick in terms of value for money.

Sporting Kansas City to Score Over 1.5 Goals

Betting on home goals is hard to avoid here. For all this season has not gone amazingly well, and it hasn’t, let’s be honest, the hosts do score goals at home, while they’re not exactly up against the toughest of away defenses.

The visitors come into this game having conceded 1.80 goals per away game, which does not point towards defensive security.

Vermes’ men have also scored a promising average of 2.00 goals per game at Children’s Mercy Park, which is a very positive stat. They also arrive here having scored multiple goals in their most recent home game, a 2-0 win over Austin.

Throw in that the hosts have scored two or more in four of their last five at home, as well as in nine of their last 11, and this bet really does start to appeal.
