Sporting Kc vs. Richmond Kickers Preview
Sporting Kc will welcome USL Pro club Richmond Kickers to beautiful LIVESTRONG Sporting Park on Tuesday night. This comes after a win against the Chicago Fire Premier in the Round of 16 a couple weeks ago. Now Sporting Kc find themselves taking on the last non-MLS side in the tournament, and a chance to really have a run towards the MLS Open Cup final. Should Sporting KC win against the Kickers, KC would host the semifinal against either Chicago Fire or New York Red Bulls.

Sporting Kc vs. Colorado Rapids Game Preview
Sporting Kc welcome yet another team to LSP on Wednesday night as they take on the Colorado Rapids. Who are, of course, the reigning MLS champions. Last time Sporting Kc played The Rapids it ended in a 1-1 draw. That was away at Dick Sporting Goods Park, now, Sporting Kc will have the 12th man behind them.
Sporting Kc enter the match with one of the best hot-streaks in the entire league (9 games undefeated). Meanwhile, The Rapids are without a win in their past 3 games. Sporting Kc will likely have the edge in this match.
A win for Sporting Kc would not move them up any positions but it would keep 4th place out of the grasps of clubs below them,(Houston Dynamo, DC United, Chicago Fire, etc.). While a win for Colorado would not move them up any spaces either.
Wednesday's match won't be a huge game in terms of either team jumping up any spaces in their respective conferences but it could do them both a lot of good in the long run.
Projected Lineup
Key Match-ups
Collin vs. Folan: Collin will most likely have the difficult task of marking the former Hull City front man. Who netted 11 times in 3 seasons for "The Tigers". Both are big strong players and it should be fun to watch them.
Zusi vs. Larentowicz/Mastroeni: Larentowicz and Mastroeni will have the not-so-easy task of trying to contain the July Player of the Month, who has become absolutely essential for Sporting Kc's offense over the past couple of games.
Prediction
Sporting Kc - 2 (Sapong, Espinoza)
Colorado Rapids - 0
