Sporting Kansas City will wrap up a three game stretch over eight days with a chance to, once again, prove they are for real. They lost to, now fifth place, Portland this past weekend in a close road game before dominating the (then third place) Colorado Rapids back at home on Wednesday. The opponent will be Los Angeles Football Club, who actually enter the game with the worst record of any of these four teams. They are just outside the playoffs in the eighth spot.
SKC and LAFC haven’t met since 2019 after the COVID-19 altered 2020 season.
