My Prediction
Sporting Kansas City by 1Now let me paint you a picture of this upcoming match between Sporting Kansas City and FC Dallas.
In the goalkeepers' corner, we have for FC Dallas, Maarten Paes with a solid 6.97 rating and a handful of saves. His partner in crime, Michael Collodi, hasn't exactly been turning heads with a 6.50 rating and only 2 saves. On the other side of the field, Sporting Kansas City's got the reliable John Pulskamp between the sticks, rocking a 7.32 rating and bagging a whopping 24 saves.
Swishing our gaze over to the star player lineup, our eyes are met by Dejan Joveljić of Sporting Kansas City, who, with a 7.62 rating and 5 goals, is breaking more hearts than smiley face emojis. Jansen Miller and Jacob Bartlett aren't just there for the free popcorn either, boasting ratings of 7.24 and 7.18 respectively.
For FC Dallas, they have Shaq Moore leading the charge with a 7.17 rating. But alas, goals and shots on goal, where art thou? Pedrinho and Sebastien Ibeagha fill out the top ranks, maintaining ratings of above 7 but they, too, need to pick up the scoring.
Recent history of past matchups is as topsy turvy as a Hollywood romantic comedy, with both teams exchanging wins. However, in their last 5 meetups, FC Dallas slightly edged Sporting Kansas City, 3-2.
Regular Season Records and Recent Results spell out a story of teams that should probably look at booking an early holiday. Both teams have identical-win records, but Kansas City seems to have been on the receiving end of some right old thumpings, as suggested by a lopsided loss-record. However, their recent form suggests a slight edge as they have been scoring goals as opposed to the goal-drought that's plaguing FC Dallas.
So, after making sense of the madness, my crystal ball reveals the victor. Despite their past, Sporting Kansas City has the better form and key individual performers who might just prove pivotal.
