Current streaks

Recent form

San Jose Earthquakes

San Jose Earthquakes are currently experiencing a troubling run of form, having lost their last four matches in a row. Their only victory in the past six games came against Monterey Bay, where they secured a convincing 3-0 win. The Earthquakes' defence has been particularly vulnerable, conceding 11 goals in their last six matches, with a notable 5-1 thrashing at the hands of Chicago Fire. Despite their struggles, the team have managed to score in five out of their six recent games, although their goal-scoring rate of 1.17 per match is lower than their concession rate of 1.83. The Earthquakes have been involved in several high-scoring affairs, with 67% of their matches featuring over 2.5 goals. However, they have only kept one clean sheet in this period, highlighting their defensive frailties.

Real Salt Lake

Real Salt Lake have shown a remarkable resilience in their recent friendlies, remaining unbeaten in their last six matches with one win and five draws. Their most recent outing against New York Red Bulls was a high-scoring affair, ending in a 3-3 draw, which exemplifies the team's offensive prowess. The side have been consistently finding the back of the net, scoring an impressive 12 goals in their last six games, averaging 2 goals per match. However, their defence has been somewhat leaky, conceding 1.5 goals per game. Notably, Real Salt Lake have managed to avoid defeat in their last 14 matches, demonstrating impressive form. The team's propensity for high-scoring encounters is evident, with 67% of their recent games seeing over 2.5 goals. While clean sheets have been rare, occurring only once in the last six matches, Real Salt Lake's ability to outscore opponents has kept them competitive.

Recent home/away form

San Jose Earthquakes

San Jose Earthquakes have been struggling with consistency at home, having lost four of their last six matches. The Earthquakes are currently on a worrying run of three consecutive home defeats in competitive fixtures, which includes losses to Real Salt Lake, St. Louis CITY, and Minnesota United. Despite this poor form, they have shown flashes of brilliance, particularly in their emphatic 5-0 victory over Necaxa in the Leagues Cup. This high-scoring affair stands out as their most impressive performance in recent times. Interestingly, whilst the Earthquakes have been conceding regularly, they've also been involved in several goal-filled encounters, with 67% of their last six home games seeing over 2.5 goals. Their defensive frailties are evident, having kept only one clean sheet in this period, but they've managed to maintain a respectable goals-per-game average of 1.67, suggesting they can still pose a threat going forward.

Real Salt Lake

Real Salt Lake have shown a mixed but largely resilient form away from home, with only one loss in their last six matches. The team have displayed a knack for drawing games, with four of their last six away fixtures ending in stalemates. Notably, their most recent away match against New York Red Bulls was a high-scoring affair, ending in a 3-3 draw. Despite conceding more goals than they've scored (11 versus 9), Real Salt Lake have managed to find the back of the net consistently, scoring in five out of six games. Their defensive record is somewhat concerning, with only one clean sheet in this period, but their ability to score has helped them avoid defeats. The 4-1 loss to Houston Dynamo stands out as their most significant setback, whilst their 1-0 victory over San Jose Earthquakes represents their sole away win in this stretch.
