Sporting Kansas City has the worst record in MLS; their latest loss against Atlanta United showed there's little reason to believe they can reverse the trend. Sportsbooks consider them heavy underdogs when they host the Vancouver Whitecaps.
The team managed by Swiss coach Wicky played a balanced match at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, but it seemed that when Atlanta broke quickly, they found space and caused problems. However, in that dynamic, Atlanta's second goal came from a corner kick with weak marking from Kansas City. Even in defeat, the combination play and the goal scored by striker Afrifa to pull one back were beautiful.
If Kansas City struggles against teams that transition quickly and attack at speed, they will have serious problems when they face the dynamic Vancouver Whitecaps. The Canadian team is coming off a dominant performance, steamrolling FC Dallas; Brin White scored two goals, and while Müller didn't score, the legendary German player had a dominant game and registered an assist.

Our Sporting Kansas City vs Vancouver Whitecaps Prediction
On April 17th of this year in Canada, these teams faced off in one of the many matches where Sporting Kansas City continued their bad habit of conceding early goals. Sabbi, Caicedo, and Muller scored that time at BC Place, all before the half-hour mark.
The Caps made as many as 45 passes into the opposing penalty area in the match against Dallas, and Japanese goalkeeper Takaoka had a rather uneventful night, only being tested once and making a save. The odds favor a Canadian victory at Children's Mercy Park.
Our prediction for Sporting Kansas City vs Vancouver Whitecaps is: Vancouver Whitecaps -1.5.
