Western Conference basement dwellers Sporting Kansas City will be aiming to pick up just their fourth win of the season when they host mid-table Minnesota United at Children's Mercy Park on Wednesday evening.
KC's return from the mid-season break saw them bravely battle back from 2-0 down at St Louis City, only to concede a late penalty and fall to an agonizing 23-2 loss. That defeat leaves Sporting three points adrift at the bottom of the table, nine points outside of the postseason positions.
Minnesota's playoff prospects look somewhat brighter, as they are currently occupying one of the Western Conference wild card spots. However, a run of two draws and two defeats in their last four games has left Cameron Knowles' side looking over their shoulders as they attempt to reach the postseason for the eighth time in nine seasons. A visit to the Conference's bottom side could be just what they need to get their campaign back on track.

Our Sporting Kansas City vs Minnesota United Prediction
Minnesota have been poor in their last few games, but a trip to the worst team in the Conference should see them get back to winning ways.
KC have looked well off the pace in the majority of their games this season, which makes them a very tough team to trust, even against out-of-form opposition.
Both sides have been poor defensively in the first half of the campaign, so we think the smart bet here is to take both teams to score in a road win for United.
Our prediction for Sporting Kansas City vs Minnesota United is: Minnesota to win and both teams to score.
