There are a lot of MLS odds giving the league's improving teams credit this week. Charlotte's betting line to beat Sporting KC is not one of those instances. The Crown and the Wizards will meet in Kansas City, Kansas tonight at 8:30 p.m. EST, with Kansas City's equal betting action defying a 4-4-10 MLS record.
Sporting KC is a famous brand in a slump, causing Las Vegas to wonder if the club is due to bounce back in the summer. Head coach Kerry Zavagnin's squad took only two points from a pair of games against nascent MLS clubs St. Louis and San Diego on May 14 and May 17, respectively, then lost three of its next four.
There's a good reason for Charlotte's skeptical odds, though. Missing the star striker Patrick Agyemang to U.S. national team duty, it's a wonder The Crown has helped inspire the bout's O/U (3) sportsbook total.

Charlotte FC vs Sporting KC Predictions and Picks
Charlotte could savor the chance to beat a vulnerable host in any circumstance. Eric Hansen of Charlotte FC's homepage laments how well the Crown played against the Philadelphia Union last round, only to lose 2-1 after surrendering the winning goal in injury time from the Union's rookie forward Markus Anderson.
The blogger argues that Charlotte has faced "absolute bangers" from quality opponents over the last few rounds of league play. Charlotte's last turn against a weaker foe was a routine 2-0 win over Toronto. Galatasaray loaner Wilfried Zaha is among four Crown strikers with five goals or more in 2025.
Can the Wizards provide another "banger" to hand Charlotte its 10th league loss? Probably not, but with Agyemang missing for the visitors, the most probable outcome is a draw at Children's Mercy Park.
