Montreal Impact vs Sporting KC Predictions: Montreal over Kansas 2-1

In their last meeting on May 5,2012 Kansas suffered a 2-0 loss at home to the impact. I see this being the same type of outcome with the Impact taking this. Montreal will be well rested and also I expect them to take control on the offense.
