Prediction
Sporting KC 2, Colorado 1
Moneyline (ML)
SPORTING KC (-110) is a rather heavy favorite despite the fact it has to go with a backup keeper with Melia serving a suspension due to a red card in Sunday’s loss to Minnesota United. GK Richard Sanchez made his debut in the opener and was shaky, at best. Sanchez should be a bit more prepared seeing as he won’t be thrust into action in an emergency this time around.
A winning $10 wager on Sporting KC (-110) returns a net profit of $9.09.
Over/Under (O/U)
OVER 2.5 (-154) is the play in this one. Colorado should be able to get at least one past Sanchez, and Sporting KC will be on a mission offensively to get rid of the bad taste from its 2-1 stunning loss to Minnesota.
