MATCH PREVIEW Sporting Kansas City II (1-6-4, 7 points) will conclude a breathless stretch of four matches in 11 days when they visit Central Division counterparts Memphis 901 FC (2-3-2, 8 points) on Saturday night at AutoZone Park in Memphis, Tennessee. The USL Championship showdown will kick off at 7:30 p.m. CT and stream live on ESPN Plus, marking the first meeting between the clubs since 2019. Sporting KC II have suffered three consecutive one-goal losses over the last week and a half, falling 4-3 at FC Tulsa on June 16 before taking a 2-1 home defeat to Indy Eleven on Sunday and a 1-0 setback at OKC Energy FC on Wednesday. Head coach Paulo Nagamura’s men have remained fiercely competitive, however, with the likes of Sporting KC Homegrown Player Tyler Freeman and skillful winger Enoch Mushagalusa bagging three goals apiece. The midweek contest against Energy FC, decided by a curiously awarded penalty kick on the stroke of halftime, saw Sporting KC Academy standout Coby Jones make his professional debut.
