Sporting Kansas City’s 2023 season debut is only days away. After an uncharacteristic 2022 season where SKC finished 12th in the Western Conference and missed the playoffs for only the second time since the rebrand, the team is looking to build on the momentum it had the last ten games of the season when Willy Agada and Erik Thommy led the team to a strong finish. The 2022 team scored 42 goals with 23 of those coming in the final ten games. Defensively, the team conceded 54 times and was especially vulnerable to counterattacks. What can we expect in 2023?
