Game Prediction
In the MLS regular season on June 26, 2025, Sporting Kansas City and Charlotte will face off. Both clubs have not been impressive this season and are hoping to achieve success in their head-to-head encounter.
Our Prediction for Sporting Kansas City vs Charlotte
The team from "Children’s Mercy Park" earned only 31 points last season — the penultimate result in the West. The US Open Cup could have compensated for the failure to reach the playoffs, but after making the final, they lost there as well. Their opponent from North Carolina had twenty points more and finished fifth in the East. This allowed them to enter the playoffs, but they were immediately eliminated by Orlando City, albeit in a close match.
Currently, Dean Smith's squad is balancing on the edge of the playoff zone in their conference, alternating between wins and losses in recent rounds. The home side seemed to revive recently: they earned points in four consecutive matches and even won away at Houston Dynamo. However, they lost their last two games — to Los Angeles and Dallas.
Joveljic and company play attractive football. They average 1.56 goals scored per match, but concede even more — 1.94. Their guests show equal statistics: 1.61 goals both scored and conceded per match.
