MATCH PREVIEW Sporting Kansas City II (3-12-7, 16 points) will continue a stretch of three home matches in seven days when head coach Paulo Nagamura’s side hosts Birmingham Legion FC (11-6-3, 36 points) on Wednesday night in a Central Division battle at Children’s Mercy Park. The contest will kick off at 7 p.m. CT and stream live on ESPN Plus, serving as the second of four head-to-head meetings between the clubs this season. Sporting KC II will be looking to secure their third straight result after posting consecutive home draws against Indy Eleven and Memphis 901 FC.
