Recent form

Minnesota United

Minnesota United are enjoying a strong run of form, having gone unbeaten in their last six matches with four wins and two draws. Their defensive prowess is particularly noteworthy, with an impressive five clean sheets in this period and only one goal conceded. The team's attacking capabilities have also been on display, especially in their recent 4-1 victory over St. Louis CITY, which stands out as a high-scoring affair. Minnesota's goal difference of +9 over these six games is testament to their balanced performance, averaging 1.67 goals scored per game whilst maintaining a miserly 0.17 goals conceded per game. Their current sixth position in the league table with 52 points from 34 games reflects their solid form, and they've shown a tendency towards low-scoring matches with 67% of their recent games featuring under 2.5 goals.

Real Salt Lake

Real Salt Lake have shown resilience in their recent form, maintaining an impressive seven-game unbeaten streak. The team have displayed a penchant for draws, with four of their last six matches ending level, including two goalless stalemates against Minnesota United. Their defensive prowess is evident, having kept three clean sheets in their last six outings and conceding only one goal per game on average. Whilst not prolific in front of goal, scoring 1.33 goals per game, Real Salt Lake have been involved in some high-scoring affairs, notably a thrilling 3-3 draw with Portland Timbers. Their consistent performances have propelled them to third position in the league table, accumulating 59 points from 34 games, suggesting they are well-positioned for a strong finish to the season.

Recent home/away form

Minnesota United

Minnesota United have been in impressive form at home recently, winning four of their last six matches at Allianz Field. The Loons have been particularly potent in attack, scoring 13 goals in these six games, averaging 2.17 goals per match. Their defensive record has also been solid, with three clean sheets and only conceding six goals. The team's last two home fixtures have been especially noteworthy, with Minnesota United netting seven goals whilst conceding just one. A high-scoring affair occurred in their most recent home game, a 4-1 victory over St. Louis CITY. The Loons' home form has been characterised by entertaining matches, with 67% of these games seeing over 2.5 goals scored. This strong run of results at home has undoubtedly contributed to their current 6th position in the league table.

Real Salt Lake

Real Salt Lake's recent away form has been rather inconsistent, with their latest victory against San Jose Earthquakes breaking a four-game winless streak on the road. Despite their overall strong league position, their away performances have been a cause for concern, conceding an alarming 13 goals in their last six away matches whilst only managing to score 7. Notably, they suffered a three-game losing streak on their travels, including a heavy 4-1 defeat to Houston Dynamo in the Major League Soccer and a 3-0 loss to the same team in the Leagues Cup. Their defensive frailties are evident, with only one clean sheet in this period and an average of 2.17 goals conceded per game. However, their matches tend to be high-scoring affairs, with 67% of these games seeing over 2.5 goals and both teams finding the net in two-thirds of the encounters.
