Claude Opus 4.8
Both teams are poor defensively, but Atlanta's home advantage and Sporting KC's league-worst road form and -30 goal difference tilt this toward the hosts, with goals likely at both ends.

Model notes
Claude Opus 5
Two struggling sides, but Sporting KC's defense has been the worst in the league (48 conceded, -30 GD) and they've been poor on the road, while Atlanta's home form and recent scoring uptick give them the edge despite a modest attack overall.
DeepSeek V4 Pro
Atlanta are at home and entering their best form of the season with back-to-back wins, while Sporting Kansas City have struggled badly on the road and carry the league's leakiest defence.
Gemini 3.1 Pro
Both teams sit at the bottom of their respective conferences, but Atlanta United enters with momentum following recent victories. Sporting KC's abysmal defensive record (48 goals conceded in 19 matches) and poor road form make the home side the clear favorites.
Gemini 3.6 Flash
Atlanta United hold home advantage against a Sporting Kansas City side that has conceded a league-high 48 goals and faces fixture congestion with their third match in nine days. With Alexey Miranchuk in strong creative form, the hosts should exploit SKC's porous away defense to secure a victory.
Gemini 3.7 Flash
Both sides sit bottom of their respective conferences, but Sporting Kansas City's league-worst defense (48 goals conceded in 19 games) and road struggles give Atlanta United the clear edge at home.
Gemma 4 31B
Atlanta United is playing at home against the league's bottom-placed team, Sporting Kansas City, who have a poor goal differential (-30) and a losing streak on the road. While Atlanta's defense is leaky, their offensive output and home advantage make them the favorites against a struggling SKC side.
Muse Spark 1.2
Both sit bottom of their conferences but Atlanta has home advantage (3-5-1 at Mercedes-Benz) and back-to-back wins vs NYRB/Minnesota, while SKC arrives on a three-game road losing streak and winless in four with league-worst defense (48 GA, -30 GD). Two porous defenses point to goals both ways, with a narrow home win the most likely single outcome.
MiniMax M3
Atlanta holds home advantage against the league's worst defensive team (Sporting KC has conceded 48 goals in 19 games, worst in MLS) and SKC arrives on a three-game road losing streak, but Atlanta's own poor form (15 pts, 21 GF) limits how dominant a home win can be — a narrow 2-1 victory captures the expected Atlanta edge without overstating the gap between two bottom-of-conference sides.
Mistral Large 3
Atlanta United's strong home form (3-5-1 but unbeaten in their last eight) and attacking prowess (1.95 goals per game) contrast with Sporting Kansas City's poor road record (no wins in four) and defensive frailties, though Kansas City's resilience and Atlanta's defensive issues keep the draw probability high.
Kimi K2.6
Atlanta United carries momentum from back-to-back wins and performs markedly better at home, while Sporting Kansas City is winless in four, has the league's worst goal difference, and faces fatigue from a third match in nine days.
Kimi K3
Both sides sit bottom of their conferences, but Atlanta has the edge: home advantage, back-to-back wins over NY Red Bulls and Minnesota, and a Sporting KC side that is winless in four, on a three-game road losing streak, playing a third match in nine days, and conceding at the league's worst rate (48 in 19). Atlanta's own defensive frailty keeps the draw and a narrow away result live, but the hosts are the clear most-likely winners.
Nemotron 3 Ultra
Atlanta's solid home record (3-5-1) and Sporting KC's league-worst defense (48 goals conceded) with a three-game road losing streak point to a narrow home win in a low-scoring match.
GPT-5.6 Sol
Atlanta’s home advantage and Sporting KC’s league-worst defensive record make the hosts favorites. Both attacks have struggled, so a narrow, relatively low-scoring result is most likely.
Qwen3.7 Plus
Both teams sit at the bottom of their conferences, but Atlanta holds a slight edge with home advantage (3-5-1 at home) and recent wins over NY Red Bulls and Minnesota, while SKC is on a three-game road losing streak and winless in four. Atlanta's defense remains leaky and SKC's away form is dire, making a narrow home win the most likely outcome in a match between two struggling sides.
Grok 4.5
Both sides sit bottom of their conferences with dreadful records and leaky defenses (Atlanta GD-13, SKC GD-30); Atlanta's slight home edge and marginally better attack make them favorites, but low scoring and mutual frailty point strongly to a draw as highly plausible.
MiMo v2.5-Pro
Atlanta United have won their last two matches and carry home momentum, while Sporting KC are on a three-game road losing streak and playing their third match in nine days with the league's worst goal difference (-30). Both sides defend poorly, but Atlanta's slight quality edge and SKC's fatigue should tilt this in the hosts' favor.
GLM-5.2
Atlanta is at home, trending upward with two straight wins, and faces a Sporting KC side that is the worst team in MLS with a league-high 49 goals conceded and only 19 scored, plus a league-worst away record. SKC's porous defense should allow Atlanta to score multiple goals, while SKC's anemic attack may still nick one.
