Two clubs chasing CONCACAF Champions League glory will do battle today in a group-stage match between Saprissa and Sporting Kansas City. The clash scheduled for 10 p.m. ET will be held at the Estadio Ricardo Saprissa in San Jose and can be live streamed here free. Additional TV coverage can be found on Univision Deportes.
What They're Saying
Sporting Kansas City head coach Peter Vermes (via MLS's official website): "We'll have to be magicians to put two good groups out there. Some guys are going to have to do double duty. That's just the way it's going to have to be. We'll just have to deal with it."
Sporting Kansas City center-back Matt Besler: "It's two huge games this week. Hopefully, there's a couple more after that. Everyone says that every single game in this league is big, and that's true, but we're literally playing for everything in two games this week. I think as a player, you've got to be ready, but you can also be excited to play in these types of games."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Saprissa's Ariel Rodriguez has been in scintillating form for the club this season. The 25-year-old has four goals in three domestic matches and with Saprissa needing at least a two-goal victory to advance, his scoring boots will be instrumental.
Saprissa's Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1): Grant; Machado, Badilla, Mora, Morales; Bustos, Guzman; Estrada, Russell, Ramirez; Saucedo
Sporting KC's Projected Lineup (4-3-3): Kronberg; Juliao, Collin, Ellis, Sinovic; Olum, Nagamura, Feilhaber; Dovale, Bieler, Saad
