Sporting KC have struggled in MLS this season and currently sit in 11th, three points adrift of the playoff places. Peter Vermes’ side have a chequered history in recent meetings against Mexican opposition; KC were beaten 6-1 by Club Leon in the 2021 Leagues Cup and suffered a chastening 10-2 aggregate loss to CF Monterrey in the 2019 Concacaf Champions League.
They will hope that they can get the better of Liga MX opponents this time around.
