The MLS season isn't even halfway through, but it seems clear that Sporting Kansas City will be at the bottom of the table for much of 2026; they're already there after a dismal start in which they've only managed 5 out of a possible 33 points. They return to Children's Mercy Park, where they last drew 1-1 against the Seattle Sounders in their only point finish during April and the first part of May.
There wasn't much expectation that Sporting Kansas City could overcome the Timbers, but they ended up getting thrashed 6-0 in what was undoubtedly the worst game of the year for the team managed by Swiss coach Wicky. In addition to the heavy defeat, Johnsen, Davis, Reid, Bartlow, and Capita all received yellow cards.
Sporting Kansas City's unfortunate run can be traced back to last season; in fact, they haven't won in 18 of their last 20 MLS matches. All of this suggests that LA Galaxy could take all three points on the road; in fact, they are coming off a 2-1 win at Mercedes-Benz Stadium against Atlanta United, with two goals from Gabriel Pec scored less than five minutes apart.
