Recent form

Sporting Kansas City

Sporting Kansas City are experiencing a concerning run of form, having failed to secure a victory in their last seven matches across all competitions. The team's recent performances have been particularly worrying, with three consecutive losses in their last three outings, including a 3-1 defeat to Inter Miami in the CONCACAF Champions League. Their defensive record has been shaky, conceding eight goals in their last six games, while struggling to find the back of the net themselves, scoring only three times during this period. Despite managing two clean sheets in friendly matches, Sporting Kansas City have been unable to translate this defensive solidity into competitive fixtures. Their current 12th position in the league table, coupled with zero points from their opening match, suggests a challenging start to the season for the Missouri-based side.

San Jose Earthquakes

San Jose Earthquakes have experienced a mixed run of form recently, with a notable turnaround in their latest match. The Earthquakes are currently top of the league after a convincing 4-0 victory over Real Salt Lake in their opening Major League Soccer fixture, which also marked their first clean sheet in six games. However, prior to this win, the team endured a challenging streak of four consecutive losses in friendlies, conceding 10 goals whilst scoring only three. Their 5-1 defeat against Chicago Fire was particularly high-scoring and highlighted defensive vulnerabilities. Despite the rocky pre-season form, San Jose have shown resilience, bookending their recent results with wins and demonstrating their ability to score, with 83% of their last six matches featuring over 2.5 goals. The stark contrast between their friendly results and their league opener suggests the Earthquakes may be finding their footing at a crucial time.

Recent home/away form

Sporting Kansas City

Sporting Kansas City's recent home form has been a tale of two halves, with the club experiencing a dramatic shift in fortunes. The team enjoyed a strong run of three consecutive home victories, including an impressive 4-1 thrashing of Colorado Rapids and a convincing 3-0 win against Orlando City. However, their form has taken a nosedive since then, with Sporting Kansas City currently enduring a three-match losing streak at home, failing to score in any of these defeats. Particularly concerning for the side is their most recent home performance, a 3-0 loss to Los Angeles FC in Major League Soccer. Despite the recent downturn, Sporting Kansas City have maintained a positive goal difference over their last six home matches, scoring 9 goals whilst conceding 7. The team have also managed two clean sheets during this period, demonstrating their defensive capabilities when at their best.

San Jose Earthquakes

San Jose Earthquakes have been struggling in their recent away matches, with a concerning run of three consecutive losses in their last three outings. Their away form has been particularly poor, with only one win in their last six matches on the road. The Earthquakes have been leaking goals at an alarming rate, conceding 13 goals in their last six away games, which averages to 2.17 goals conceded per game. Their defensive frailties are further highlighted by the fact that both teams have scored in 83% of these matches. The most notable result in this run was a heavy 5-1 defeat to Chicago Fire in a friendly, which stands out as a particularly high-scoring affair. Despite their poor away form, the Earthquakes have managed to find the back of the net in five out of their last six away games, suggesting that their attack remains a threat even if their defence is struggling.
