Best Tip: Both teams to score

We have a pair of impressive, attacking groups going head-to-head and, as such, we are predicting both of them to score at least 1 goal during the 90 minutes. Can respective bosses Raphaël Wicky or Martí Cifuentes Corvillo find a tactical plan to top their opponent? Recent form statistics and historical head-to-heads, as well as the latest odds from the bookmakers, show that doesn't seem likely.

If you’re looking for a winner in this match, we think Sporting KC are the most likely. Our predictive algorithm gives them a 39% chance of victory, and the bookies have them at a best price of 2.50.
