Sporting KC<\/a> host Austin FC<\/a> at Sporting Park on Saturday, October 24 (8:30 PM ET \/ 7:30 PM CT \/ 5:30 PM PT).<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sporting Park has no fresh fitness concerns to report for either side, with both Sporting Kansas City and Austin FC expected to field close to full-strength groups. Midfielder Andr\u00e9 Luiz In\u00e1cio da Silva leads the Sporting Kansas City line with 7 goals from 610 minutes, while Calvin William Harris anchors midfield with 4 goals, 55 shots and 19 chances created across 2,256 minutes. Austin FC arrive with striker Christian Ramirez<\/a> in red-hot form, his 9 goals from 1,311 minutes the headline figure in a squad that also carries Myrto Uzuni’s 7 goals and Facundo Torres’s 65 chances created.<\/p>\n

Sporting Kansas City have lost 3 of their last 4 matches, including a 3-3 home draw with Portland Timbers and back-to-back defeats to Nashville SC and Real Salt Lake, so goals have flowed at Sporting Park this fall. Austin FC arrive on the back of 3 straight losses themselves, with their own defense shipping goals in 4 of their last 5 outings, so a tight, low-scoring affair looks unlikely \u2014 expect goals at both ends, with Sporting Kansas City’s extra firepower up top the difference late on.<\/p>\n
