San Diego FC vs Sporting Kansas City Best odds and tips

San Diego FC are 8th in the USA MLS 2025 with 20 points from 12 games, a solid start to their debut campaign in the top flight, while Sporting Kansas City are 24th with just 10 points from as many games. With no prior history between the clubs, this could be the start of a new rivalry, but it will be interesting to see if Sporting KC can cause an upset or if San Diego FC will continue their momentum with another three points in MLS. Mikey Varas has done a great job since taking charge of the club in September 2024, instilling a flexible and resilient style that has seen his side record a dominant 5-0 rout of FC Dallas at home.

San Diego FC are favourites at 2.75 for this game, but Sporting KC are a massive 5.25 to take the win, which seems too big of an underdog price for the visitors. Kerry Zavagnin, appointed as head coach of Sporting KC in March 2025, is still searching for tactical consistency as his side wrestles with away form. The visitors have struggled on the road in the USA MLS 2025, winning just one and suffering five losses in their six away games, and their away form could be the difference in this contest. San Diego FC have won three, drawn two and lost just one of their six home fixtures in the USA MLS 2025, so with the momentum of two consecutive wins behind them, we’re backing the home side to get another three points.

Anders Dreyer is the MLS’s top scorer with five goals in 12 games, but Hirving Lozano has hit a hot streak with three of San Diego’s 10 goals in the last five matches. Sporting KC have a reliable finisher in Dejan Joveljic, who has five goals in 12 MLS games, but the visitors have conceded 11 goals away from home at an average of 1.83 per game. San Diego FC play a high-octane 4-3-3 system that will pressure Sporting KC’s build-up play, while the visitors’ 4-3-3 is more structured and should be able to hold their own if they can avoid the San Diego FC press. With both sides involved in several high-scoring games recently, backing ‘Over 2.5 goals’ could be a smart alternative play.
