Current streaks

Recent form

Colorado Rapids

The Colorado Rapids are currently experiencing a mixed run of form, with their last six matches yielding just one win, two draws, and three losses. Notably, all of their recent games have been high-scoring affairs, with over 2.5 goals in 100% of matches and an impressive average of 4.17 total goals per game. The Rapids have been involved in two particularly thrilling 3-3 draws against Seattle Sounders and New England Revolution, showcasing their attacking prowess but also highlighting defensive vulnerabilities. Their sole victory, a 3-0 win against Vancouver Whitecaps, stands out as their only clean sheet in this period. However, the team's defensive frailties are evident, conceding an average of 2.33 goals per game and failing to keep the opposition scoreless in five out of six matches. Despite their attacking output of 1.83 goals per game, the Rapids' goal difference remains negative, indicating a need for defensive improvement to turn their form around.

Santos Laguna

Santos Laguna are currently experiencing a difficult run of form, having lost four of their last six matches. The team have been particularly vulnerable defensively, conceding 13 goals in this period, with an average of 2.17 goals conceded per game. Their 4-0 defeat to Club Tijuana stands out as a particularly heavy loss, while their 4-2 home defeat to Toluca also highlights their defensive frailties. On a more positive note, Santos Laguna did manage a convincing 3-0 victory over U.N.A.M. - Pumas, which represents their only clean sheet in this run. The team's matches tend to be high-scoring affairs, with 67% of their games featuring over 2.5 goals. However, with only seven goals scored across these six matches, Santos Laguna's attacking output appears to be a concern, especially considering they are currently on a three-match losing streak in Liga MX.

Recent home/away form

Colorado Rapids

The Colorado Rapids have shown mixed form at home recently, with their last six matches resulting in an alternating pattern of wins and losses. They have managed to secure three clean sheets during this period, demonstrating their defensive capabilities. Notably, the Rapids have struggled to find consistency in their scoring, with only one match seeing them net more than two goals. Their most recent home fixture was their highest-scoring game, a 3-0 victory against Vancouver Whitecaps. Despite their inconsistent results, the Rapids have maintained a positive goal difference, scoring 7 and conceding 5 across these six matches. Interestingly, the majority of their home games (67%) have seen fewer than 2.5 goals, suggesting a tendency towards lower-scoring encounters at their stadium.

Santos Laguna

Santos Laguna have been struggling significantly in their away fixtures, enduring a dismal run of five consecutive defeats following a solitary draw. Their defensive frailties are glaringly evident, having conceded a whopping 13 goals in their last six away matches, averaging 2.17 goals conceded per game. The team's attack has been equally lacklustre, managing to score only four goals during this period, with a meagre average of 0.67 goals per game. A particularly concerning result was their 4-2 loss to Monterrey, which stands out as the highest-scoring game in this run. Santos Laguna have failed to keep a single clean sheet in these six away matches, further highlighting their defensive woes. With a goal difference of -9 and no wins in their last six away games, Santos Laguna's away form is undoubtedly a major cause for concern.
