Columbus Crew vs Sporting Kansas City Prediction: 23/6/2024

Columbus Crew will aim to bounce back from a 2-1 defeat to an Inter Miami side missing Messi when they take on Sporting Kansas City in an exciting matchup. Columbus has struggled at home, failing to secure a win in their last four MLS home games, but they are still considered strong favorites to defeat the Wizards at Lower.com Field. Key player to watch for Columbus will be former Watford striker Cucho Hernandez, who scored in the midweek loss. However, Jacen Russell-Rowe will be unavailable due to international duty.

Sporting Kansas City, meanwhile, suffered defensive woes in a 4-3 loss to Real Salt Lake. With their shaky defense, this match presents a prime opportunity for Columbus to get back to winning ways in Major League Soccer. Sporting Kansas City will be missing several key players due to injuries, including Pulido, Flores, Walter, Salloi, and Ndenbe, but they have no suspensions ahead of their trip to Ohio.

Prediction: Columbus Crew 3-1 Sporting Kansas City.
