KANSAS CITY, Kan. – Sporting Kansas City's shutout victory over the Vancouver Whitecaps on Saturday night should portend good things for Tuesday night's CONCACAF Champions League match between the two sides, right?
Maybe, maybe not.
Sporting have won six straight at home, after Saturday night's 2-0 victory over the Whitecaps, but are winless in their last seven matches on the road across all competitions – including their CCL opener, a 2-2 draw against Central FC on Tuesday in Couva, Trinidad and Tobago.
“It’s two different situations,” manager Peter Vermes said during his postmatch news conference.
