LAFC have a superb opportunity to ramp up the pressure at the top of the MLS Western Conference when they visit Kansas City on Saturday to take on a Sporting side mired to the bottom of the table.
Kansas City have picked up just one point from their last 7 games, and their tally of just four league wins all season is the lowest in the entire MLS. Last time out, KC looked on course for a rare win as they opened up an early two goal lead at Dallas. However, a familiar string of defensive errors led to them being defeated 4-3, a result that leaves them nine points adrift at the bottom of the Conference standings.
Los Angeles picked up their first victory in six games last weekend, thanks to a comfortable 2-0 win against the New York Red Bulls. Despite their relatively poor form in recent weeks, LA are still firmly in the driving seat to secure a playoff spot. and a strong end to the seaosn could even see them challenge for the Conference top spot.

Our Sporting Kansas City vs Los Angeles FC Prediction
Despite LA's mediocre recent form, this looks like a bit of a mismatch between two teams heading in completely different directions.
Simply put, KC are comfortably the weakest team in the Western Conference, whilst LA are genuine MLS Cup contenders and boast some of the standout players in the entire league.
So not only do we think that the visitors will pick up all three points on Saturday, we are tipping them to do so by at least two goals.
Our prediction for Sporting Kansas City vs Los Angeles FC is: Los Angeles (-1) to win.
