The MLS Cup Playoffs consist of single-elimination games held by the higher-seeded club in a bracket-style format. As the No. 1 seed, Sporting Kansas City owns homefield advantage in the Western Conference and earned a Round One victory over the San Jose Earthquakes on Sunday, prevailing 3-0 on penalty kicks following a 3-3 draw.
Sporting owns a 7-4-2 record against Minnesota in all competitions, including two wins and a loss in 2020 and a perfect 6-0-0 mark at home. The Loons have been outscored 15-1 on their six previous visits to Children’s Mercy Park since joining MLS in 2017.
The upcoming conference semifinal matchup will feature a pair of in-form teams. Sporting went 6-1-1 from the start of October to the end of the regular season, finishing first in the West before eliminating San Jose in Round One. Minnesota, meanwhile, boasts a nine-game unbeaten run after ending the regular season 4-0-4 and claiming a 3-0 triumph over the Colorado Rapids in their Round One contest.
