Sporting Kansas City are having an interesting 2019. They had the extreme highs of advancing twice in the CONCACAF Champions League and the incredible lows of being eliminated from that same competition by a 10-2 aggregate against CF Monterrey. That second loss to Rayados just happened on Thursday. On two days rest SKC are now forced to take on the Red Bulls.
The only two good things about the timing of this meeting is that both games were at home and that the Red Bulls are in poor form. They are all the way down in ninth in the Eastern Conference with just four points through five games (1-3-1).
