Sporting Kansas City vs CF Montreal Prediction: Both clubs to share the spoils

Sporting Kansas City are back in action in the league as they welcome CF Montreal to the Children’s Mercy Park. They played in the US Open Cup against Tulsa Athletics in mid-week and won 3-0. Sporting Kansas have been a horror show in the league as they are yet to win a single league game after 9 matches played. CF Montreal are not so different from the hosts in terms of results in the league as they have won just 2 league matches and lost the remaining 7. As expected, they are both bottom in the individual conference tables, but CF Montreal have 3 points more than the hosts on the combined MLS table.
