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

Sporting Kansas City will be looking to pick up consecutive wins for the first time this term when they welcome Dallas to Children's Mercy Park on Thursday.

The away side, on the other hand, set out to extend their run of matches without a defeat to five and continue their surge up the league table.


Match preview

Sporting Kansas City breezed past the challenge of Portland Timbers courtesy of a 4-1 victory when the teams faced off on Sunday.

Peter Vermes's men trailed to Franck Boli's opener but restored parity before half time through Erik Thommy, after which second-half goals from Daniel Salloi and Felipe Hernandez either side of Larrys Mabiala's own goal completed the turnaround.

As a result, the Wizards have moved up to 12th place in the Western Conference of the MLS table and are now within one win of a play-in spot.

Coming up next is the task of facing off against an opposing outfit with little to separate the teams of late as the last seven meetings have yielded three wins apiece for either side and one draw.

Off the back of consecutive home wins by a combined score of 7-1, Thursday's hosts will be confident of securing another huge victory in front of their fans.

FC Dallas had to make do with a share of the spoils for the second game running following a 1-1 draw against San Jose Earthquakes at PayPal Park on Sunday.

After going behind to Benjamin Kikanovic's 70th-minute strike, Nico Estevez's men were on course to come away empty-handed before Nkosi Tafari levelled matters in second-half stoppage time.

With 23 points from 14 matches so far, the Hoops sit fourth in the Western Conference standings, three points adrift of top spot having played one game fewer.

Currently on a run of just one victory in five away matches leading up to Thursday's contest, the visitors have not fared well on the road recently and will be keen to turn their fortunes around.

Team News

Eighteen-year-old Tarik Scott will not feature again for Dallas this season due to a long-term knee injury which he suffered earlier this year.

Maarten Paes is also set to be unavailable for the third straight game as he continues to battle with a thorax problem, while Sebastian Lletget misses out with a thigh injury.

Meanwhile, Tsiki Ntsabeleng is a huge doubt for this one after coming off with an injury scare just nine minutes into the visitors' last involvement.

Sporting Kansas City's William Agada remains without an outing since April through a tibia stress fracture and he is joined on the sidelines by American trio Kortne Ford, Tim Melia and Kayden Pierre.

Following two unused substitute outings in a row, Felipe Hernandez was on target despite playing only 14 minutes against Portland Timbers, putting him in contention to play a part for the home side once again.


Sporting Kansas City possible starting lineup:
McIntosh; Davis, Rosero, Fontas, Ndenbe; Radoja, Kinda, Thommy; Salloi, Pulido, Tzionis

Dallas possible starting lineup:
Maurer; Farfan, Antonio, Tafari, Twumasi; Cerrillo, Quignon; Velasco, Junqua, Obrian; Ferreira


We say: Sporting Kansas City 2-1 Dallas

Both teams are in good goalscoring form of late so we do not expect either of them to come away without conceding. That said, we are also backing the hosts to narrowly pip their visitors to all the three points in the end.
