Analysis Portland

The home team comes to this stage of the MLS (Regular Season) after a away loss by (2‑1) against Minnesota United. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 3 wins, 5 draws and 7 losses in away matches, with 21 goals scored and 32 conceded; against 6 wins, 3 draws and 6 losses at their stadium, with 28 goals scored and 26 conceded. For the league, Portland won 8 points out of 18 possible points, after 2 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses in the last 6 home matches. They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in all of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition. There is a tendency for goals in their home matches, since 14 of the last 19 have ended with Over 2,5 goals. In 14 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 8 times and have only turned the score around in 2.

Portland has been finding themselves increasingly distant from the playoff zone in the Western Conference. The team suffered another loss in the Major League Soccer, and after showing signs of a comeback, they can't allow this to affect the team's morale. Needing a win to boost everyone's confidence, it's crucial for them to rely on an offensive strategy in this home match against Sporting KC.

Confirmed Lineup: Maxime Crépeau, Kamal Miller, Miguel Araujo, J. Mosquera López, Dario Župarić, Evander, David Ayala, Diego Chará, Jonathan Rodriguez, Felipe Mora, Antony.
Coach: P. Neville.

Analysis Sporting KC

The away team comes to this stage of the MLS (Regular Season) after a away loss by (3‑2) against Austin. This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 5 wins, 3 draws and 7 losses in away matches, with 23 goals scored and 23 conceded; against 6 wins, 5 draws and 4 losses at their stadium, with 30 goals scored and 26 conceded. In their last match, for the US Open Cup, they got a home win against Tulsa Roughnecks by (4‑0). In the last 6 away league matches Sporting KC has a record of 1 win, 2 draws and 3 losses, so they have won 5 points out of 18 possible.

In this competition, they haven’t won any of the last 7 matches. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded at least one goal in each of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 13 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 4 times and have only turned the score around in 1.

Sporting KC has been facing numerous challenges on the field, and it's already apparent in this Major League Soccer season. The team is coming off a sequence of four consecutive defeats and needs to reassess the mistakes made in those previous matches. Otherwise, there's a high likelihood of suffering another loss and potentially taking the bottom spot in the Western Conference table in this round.

Confirmed Lineup: Timothy Melia, Jacob Davis, Tim Leibold, Andreu Fontàs, Daniel Rosero Valencia, Nemanja Radoja, Memo Rodríguez, Erik Thommy, Johnny Russell, Dániel Sallói, Alan Pulido.
Coach: P. Vermes.
