Last Game: Houston 1-1 Kansas
Sunday, February 25 at 1.30am in Major League Soccer

We said: Sporting Kansas City 1-1 Philadelphia Union

Both teams drew on the opening MLS matchday, and it would be little surprise to see them share the spoils against each other this weekend. Philadelphia have been impressively consistent in recent years, but they may be tired after their continental exploits in midweek. Kansas were less than impressive in terms of their performance against Houston last time out and may settle for gaining another point. Read more.
