Sporting Kansas City vs Los Angeles Galaxy Best odds and tips

Two of the three worst teams in MLS 2025 meet in Kansas City on Sunday when 27th-placed Sporting Kansas City, with seven points from 10 games, host 30th-placed LA Galaxy, who have managed only three points from the same number of games. The Galaxy will be desperate to get back on track after a tough week in which they lost 4-2 at home to Portland Timbers and 1-0 away to Austin FC. Greg Vanney has been in charge of the Galaxy since December 2020, but has yet to find a way to eliminate the defensive lapses that have plagued the team throughout his tenure. The experience of captain and veteran defender Martín Cáceres, who brings crucial experience to an often vulnerable backline, should help keep the team in the game on Sunday.

Kerry Zavagnin is still searching for the right formula to get Sporting KC out of their rut as they look to rebuild their identity post-Peter Vermes. His team have been up and down in their last two games, thumping San Jose Earthquakes 5-3 away from home before losing 2-1 to FC Cincinnati. Manu Garcia has given them a lift with some good performances in the Designated Player role and there are signs that the team is beginning to trust in each other again. Dejan Joveljic is their most reliable goal threat with five goals in 10 MLS 2025 appearances, but Christian Ramirez has four in nine for the Galaxy and could be their best hope of scoring on Sunday.

LA Galaxy have won the last two meetings between the clubs in MLS, beating Sporting KC 4-2 at home ten months ago, but the home side will be desperate to break a two-game losing streak in this fixture. The bookies make Sporting KC marginal favourites at 2.40, with the Galaxy at 2.70 and the draw at 3.60. The odds on the home side are about right given their home record of one win, one draw and three defeats, while the Galaxy are winless on the road this season in MLS 2025, registering 2 draws and 3 losses from 5 away trips. The clash of styles could lead to a game of errors and counter-attacking, so the over 2.5 goals market looks attractive given KC have scored eight in five home games.
