Kansas vs. St Louis City (Sunday, 10.00pm)
Sporting Kansas City can advance into the second round of the MLS Cup playoffs with a victory versus St Louis City on Sunday at Children's Mercy Park in game two of that best-of-three series.
In the opening match last weekend, Kansas City stunned their state rivals 4-1, putting them a game away from a fourth appearance in the Western Conference semi-finals since 2018.
We say: Sporting Kansas City 2-2 St Louis City (Sporting Kansas City wins on penalties)
We believe St Louis will put up a fight in this must-win game, but this team look overwhelmed and uncertain in big moments, while the experience of SKC in these pressure situations seems to have given them a leg up on their competitors.

Vancouver vs. Los Angeles (Monday, 12.30am)
Los Angeles FC can punch their ticket into the next round of the MLS Cup playoffs with a victory on Sunday at BC Place Stadium against the Vancouver Whitecaps.
Three second-half strikes in the opening game of this best-of-three series enabled the reigning champions to triumph 5-2 at BMO Stadium last weekend.
We say: Vancouver Whitecaps 2-1 Los Angeles FC
The score last Saturday was not indicative of how the Whitecaps played overall, and we believe they will be able to clean up those set-piece mishaps and find a way to capitalise in transition.
