One of the semifinals of the US Open Cup will face Sacramento Republic and Sporting Kansas City at Heart Health Park in Sacramento. Both teams will try to do their best to earn a spot in the big final. For this game, we believe the smartest bet will be for an away win or draw.

It has been a long way for Sacramento Republic to reach the semifinals. Their participation in the cup started in the round of 128 with a clear win over Portland U23 by 6-0. On the succesive stages, they beat Central Valley Fuego, Phoenix Rising, San Jose Earthquakes and Los Angeles Galaxy.

Lately, the team has been struggling to find its best form. They have not won on their last four USL Championship matches, with two ties and two defeats. Against a tough rival, they will have the chance to play a good match and show what they are capable of.

On the other hand, Sporting Kansas City entered the competition in the round of 32, with a big win by 4-2 against FC Dallas. They then beat Houston Dynamo and Union Omaha to put themselves within the four best teams of the US Open Cup.

Despite being in the cup semifinals, things are not going so good in the MLS, where they have only won one of their last six matches and are on the last spot of the Western Conference. All hopes are put in playing a good match and having the opportunity to play a final match.

美国公开赛半决赛之一将在萨克拉门托心脏健康公园对阵萨克拉门托共和国队和堪萨斯体育城队。两支球队都将竭尽全力在决赛中赢得一席之地。对于这场比赛，我们相信最明智的选择将是客场取胜或平局。

萨克拉门托共和国队经历了很长一段时间才进入半决赛。他们在128强赛中以6比0完胜波特兰U23。在接下来的几个阶段，他们击败了中央谷火地队、凤凰崛起队、圣何塞地震队和洛杉矶银河队。

最近，该团队一直在努力寻找最佳状态。他们在过去的四场USL冠军赛中没有获胜，两平两负。面对一个强大的对手，他们将有机会踢出一场精彩的比赛，展示他们的能力。

另一方面，堪萨斯体育城以4比2大胜达拉斯队，进入32强。随后他们击败了休斯顿迪纳摩和联合奥马哈，跻身美国公开赛四强。

尽管进入了杯赛半决赛，但在美国职业足球大联盟(MLS)的情况并不太好，他们在过去的六场比赛中只赢了一场，而且是西部最后一个晋级名额。所有的希望都寄托在打一场好比赛和有机会打最后一场比赛上。
