Current streaks

Recent form

Austin FC

Austin FC have shown mixed form in their recent friendlies, with a balanced record of three wins, one draw, and two losses in their last six matches. The team have demonstrated a solid attacking threat, netting nine goals in these fixtures, including two high-scoring 3-1 victories against Louisville City and Charleston Battery. Defensively, they've been relatively sturdy, conceding just five goals and keeping one clean sheet. Interestingly, half of their matches have seen both teams score, while there's an even split between games finishing under and over 2.5 goals. Despite their current top position in the league table, it's worth noting that the regular season hasn't begun, as they've played zero competitive matches thus far. Their most recent outing, a 2-1 win against Nashville SC, suggests they may be finding some momentum as they approach the start of the official campaign.

Sporting Kansas City

Sporting Kansas City have shown mixed form in their recent matches, with a concerning trend of three consecutive losses in their last six games. Their goal-scoring prowess has been somewhat lacklustre, netting only 0.67 goals per game on average, whilst conceding 1.17 goals per match. The team have managed to keep three clean sheets, which is a positive sign for their defence. However, their goal difference of -3 suggests they are struggling to outscore their opponents consistently. Interestingly, 67% of their recent matches have seen under 2.5 goals, indicating a tendency towards lower-scoring affairs. The friendly against Charlotte FC stood out as a particularly high-scoring game, ending in a 3-2 defeat for Sporting Kansas City. As they prepare for the upcoming Major League Soccer season, the team will be looking to improve their attacking output and build on their defensive solidity to climb up from their current 13th position in the league table.
