Sporting Kansas City host the Houston Dynamo at Children's Mercy Park in the final round of the MLS regular season. Both Western Conference sides have had underwhelming years and are out of playoff contention. Sporting Kansas City in particular endured a dreadful campaign and sits near the bottom of the standings. They have lost five matches in a row, with their most recent outing a 0-3 defeat to Minnesota United. Kansas City will simply try to snap its losing streak in this finale.
The Houston Dynamo have fared slightly better than SKC, but their season was also disappointing. Houston's record stands at 9 wins, 9 draws, and 15 losses. In their last five matches they have one win, one draw, and three losses. They enter this game on the back of a 2-4 home defeat to expansion club San Diego FC, a result that exposed defensive frailties. Over the season, Houston scored 43 goals and conceded 56, placing them in the lower tier of the league. Their away record (4–6–6) is mediocre, but they will view this match as a chance to exploit Kansas City's struggles and end on a high note.

Our Sporting Kansas City vs Houston Dynamo Prediction
Sporting Kansas City's attack has been almost entirely reliant on one man: forward Dejan Joveljić. He has been SKC's standout performer, scoring 18 goals this season – by far the most on the team (the next highest has only 7). Joveljić's clinical finishing has been one of the few positives in an otherwise poor year for Kansas City. Aside from him, winger Dániel Sallói (7 goals) provided some contribution, but the team has largely lacked secondary scoring options.
For Houston, the primary attacking threat is Argentine striker Ezequiel Ponce, who led the Dynamo with 10 goals. Ponce's arrival gave Houston a focal point in attack and he delivered consistently. Supporting him, young midfielder Jack McGlynn emerged as an important contributor with 6 goals and creative playmaking from midfield. Ponce's scoring touch and McGlynn's inventiveness will be central to Houston's efforts to break down the SKC defense.
Considering the matchup, Houston appears to have the edge in both quality and confidence. Sporting KC's morale is low after five straight losses, and their -24 goal differential points to major defensive vulnerabilities. In contrast, Houston has a more reliable attack and a slightly tighter defense. While playing on the road is never easy and SKC will fight to avoid another defeat at home, the Dynamo have the stronger side on paper. A narrow Houston victory is a likely outcome to wrap up the season. Our prediction for Sporting Kansas City vs Houston Dynamo: Dynamo to win.
