Philadelphia vs Sporting Kansas City Prediction and Betting Tips | April 1, 2023

Philadelphia Union host Sporting Kansas City at Subaru Park in Major League Soccer on Saturday (April 1).

The hosts will hope to return to winning ways following back-to-back defeats since their qualification for the CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinals. They eased past Salvadorian side Alianza 4-0 on aggregate to reach the last eight but are yet to taste victory since then.

Philadelphia are 15th in the standings with six points from five games. They will take confidence from their impressive domestic record, having won four of their last five home games, losing once (against Orlando City 2-1).

Kansas City, meanwhile, have been unable to shake off their poor form from last season. They finished 22nd overall and missed the playoffs. They seem to be treading the same path this term, considering their results after five games, recording two draws and three losses, sitting 28th among 29 teams.

The Wizards started their campaign plagued with injuries, with up to three players, including two defenders, sidelined, which doesn't explain their disastrous start to the season, though. They're coming off successive defeats.
