The final game to kick off in Major League Soccer this weekend will be the one between Atlanta United and Sporting Kansas City, which will take place at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Following wins against the New York Red Bulls and Minnesota, the Five Stripes go into this home game with renewed confidence, though they're still not defending well, so we cannot assume that they'll make light work of getting the job done, even if they are up against a team that is without a win in four.
In the betting, 'Sporting Kansas City to Score Over 1.5 Goals' appeals at odds of +165. All things considered, the visitors could be priced a little less leniently to notch a few goals here. The hosts, for all they do hurt teams, have been quite shocking at the back recently, conceding in every MLS game that they've played since March, while they've often conceded multiple goals on home soil.

Our Atlanta United Fc vs Sporting Kansas City Prediction
On paper, this looks like a big chance for the hosts to grab three points, and really, it is. All round, the visitors have struggled this season, but they've arguably delivered their best offensive efforts away from home against open teams such as Atlanta United. The SKC boys recently scored multiple goals on the road in both St. Louis and Austin, so they could easily upset a Five Stripes defense that is anything but secure.
We've seen the hosts concede plenty of goals in recent times, often being caught out on the break, which leaves a bet on the visitors to score two or more goals to rate as a viable option in the betting.
