Sports Mole previews Sunday's Major League Soccer clash between Sporting Kansas City and Dallas, including predictions, team news and possible lineups.
Sports Mole

Two teams at opposite ends of the Major League Soccer Western Conference table are set to face each other on Sunday as Dallas travel to Children's Mercy Park for an encounter against Sporting Kansas City.

The hosts head into the match after a trio of fixtures without a win, while the visiting team are on a seven-game run without a loss.


Match preview

Sporting Kansas City have struggled at the start of the season so far, having only managed two victories out of their opening nine.

The Wizards have failed to win their past three matches, which has seen them slip down the table with consecutive defeats against Nashville and Los Angeles FC.

Last weekend the club did put a stop to that losing run with a goalless draw against Columbus Crew, which continued to highlight their issues in front of goal.

The squad have failed to score more than once in every single game this season, with their offensive qualities being something that needs to improve.

If Kansas City are unable to pick up a victory this weekend, and other results go against them, there is a chance that the club could sink to the bottom of the table.

The visitors are enjoying a vastly different start to their campaign, as they have only lost a single game at this point.

Dallas head into this match in the midst of a seven-game unbeaten run which has seen them climb up to fourth in the Western Conference, just four points off the top.

After winning their third-round U.S. Open Cup fixture against FC Tulsa, they then followed it with a 2-1 victory against Houston Dynamo in the league.

Nico Estevez's team conceded in the first half, and they left it until the final 10 minutes to win the encounter with goals from Tsiki Ntsabeleng and Facundo Quignon.

However, Dallas have actually failed to win a single game away from home so far in the league out of their three encounters so far.

Team News

The hosts have several long-term injuries that the club are having to deal with as Gadi Kinda and Alan Pulido are still recovering from knee issues.

Uri Rosell was able to be part of the starting lineup last weekend despite having a thigh issue, although he was unable to last the full 90 minutes, putting question marks over him for this match.

Dallas do not have any fitness issues to worry about right now, which does provide them with a big positive heading into this match.

Jesus Ferreira is set to lead the line for the visitors, having two wingers on either side of him to provide some width to the attack.

Sporting Kansas City possible starting lineup:
Melia; Zusi, Ford, Isimat-Mirin, Ndenbe; Walter, Rosell, Espinoza; Russell, Salloi, Shelton

Dallas possible starting lineup:
Paes; Twumasi; Hedges, Martinez, Farfan; Servania, Cerrillo, Pomykal; Arriola, Velasco, Ferreira


We say: Sporting Kansas City 0-3 Dallas

Sporting Kansas City might have the home advantage when it comes to this match on Sunday, but they could struggle against in-form opponents.

Dallas have been one of the strongest teams in the MLS so far, and that should continue this weekend, even though they have struggled away from home this season.
