Sporting Kansas City will look to regain its home swagger as it hosts the Philadelphia Union in a rare Thursday contest at Children’s Mercy Park.
Sporting Kansas City is smarting after a lackluster first half and several missed second-half opportunities resulted in just a point following a 1-1 draw versus the Portland Timbers last Saturday.
Sporting Kansas City still owns an 18-match home unbeaten streak dating back more than a year. The team is 6-0-3 at home this season and is unbeaten in seven straight matches over all competitions.
While SKC (8-4-7, 31 points, tied for first in the Western Conference) is looking to rebound from a small bump in the road, Philadelphia still is trying to recover from a horrendous start to the season.
