Today’s match-up between Minnesota United and Sporting Kansas City will not be the first time these two clubs have ever met. They have played two US Open Cup matches in recent years with SKC coming out on top in both of them. However, this does mark the first MLS regular season meeting between the clubs. Sporting are a pretty impressive 8-2-3 when facing a MLS expansion team for the first time.
Sporting are currently in terrific form coming off back-to-back victories. In fact, today’s game marks the third game in eight days for the club and Sporting are right in the middle of a six game, 21-day run of games.
