On Saturday evening in the MLS, Sporting Kansas City, who have begun the season bottom of the Western Conference, welcome New York Red Bulls to Children’s Mercy Park.
In the form they’ve just started to get into, as well as playing against a team conceding one of the highest number of goals in the whole campaign, SKC to score more than one goal is an attractive bet at the available odds.
Whilst they didn’t have the most ideal start to the season, the hosts have improved in their last two and are starting to build good momentum. They scored three goals in their last appearance on home soil, as well as two goals on the road in their last outings. Besides, the main source of their goals so far has come on home turf, only failing to score in one out of six.
Despite being fairly high up the rankings, NYRB have been very open, conceding lots of goals - particularly on the road - with only three teams conceding more goals in the whole league. Against a young defense, this is a prime opportunity for SKC goals.

Our Sporting Kansas City vs New York Red Bulls Prediction
Surely SKC are uplifted by two victories in their last two games as they return to home soil, and these first wins since the middle of March could be just what they’ve needed to turn their season around.
The hosts will definitely find enough chances with an open team like the New York Red Bulls, and looking at their improved offensive quality recently, SKC should have more confidence going forward. The visitors have conceded in all of their last 12 on the bounce, multiple in nine, as well as failing to keep a clean sheet in all seven away games so far.
Our Sporting Kansas City vs New York Red Bulls Pick: Sporting Kansas City to Score Over 1.5 Goals.
