Both teams find themselves languishing at the bottom of the league table and are eager to finish the season on a positive note. The match promises to be an intriguing battle between two sides struggling to find form.

San Diego's Home Challenges

With no injury concerns, Sporting Kansas City will aim to improve their defensive record and end their season on a high note.
