Current streaks

Recent form

Real Salt Lake

Real Salt Lake's recent form has been mixed, with their last six matches yielding two wins, two draws, and two losses. The team have struggled to maintain consistency, alternating between positive and negative results. Their most recent Major League Soccer match saw them secure a solid 2-0 victory against Seattle Sounders, bouncing back from a heavy 4-0 defeat to San Jose Earthquakes in their previous league fixture. Notably, Real Salt Lake have been involved in some high-scoring encounters, particularly the 3-3 draw with New York Red Bulls in a friendly and the aforementioned loss to San Jose. Despite conceding nine goals in their last six matches, they have also managed three clean sheets during this period, highlighting their defensive inconsistency. Currently sitting 8th in the league table with three points from two games, Real Salt Lake will be looking to build on their most recent win and improve their goal difference, which currently stands at zero.

San Diego

San Diego have shown mixed form in their recent matches, with a notable upturn in performance as they approach the start of the Major League Soccer season. After suffering two consecutive losses in friendlies, the team have bounced back impressively, going unbeaten in their last three matches. This run includes a particularly high-scoring game against the New York Red Bulls, where San Diego thrashed their opponents 6-0. Their defensive record has also improved significantly, with three clean sheets in their last five games, including their first two competitive matches of the season. Despite the early setbacks in friendlies, San Diego have started their MLS campaign strongly, currently sitting in 4th position with 4 points from their opening two games. Their goal-scoring form has been impressive, averaging 1.8 goals per game over their last five matches, while their defence has tightened up considerably in competitive fixtures.

Recent home/away form

Real Salt Lake

Real Salt Lake have shown mixed form at home recently, with two wins, three draws, and one loss in their last six matches. Interestingly, they've managed to score in every game, netting 11 goals in total for an impressive average of 1.83 goals per match. Their defence has been relatively solid, conceding 1.17 goals per game and keeping two clean sheets. The team has been involved in some high-scoring encounters, with 67% of their matches seeing over 2.5 goals. Their most recent victory, a 2-0 win against Seattle Sounders in Major League Soccer, suggests they may be finding their stride at home. However, their consistency remains a challenge, as evidenced by the three consecutive draws in friendly matches earlier in the year.

San Diego

San Diego have shown mixed form in their recent away fixtures, with a win against LA Galaxy and a loss to Portland Timbers in their last two outings. Their most recent victory against LA Galaxy was particularly noteworthy, as they managed to secure a clean sheet whilst scoring twice. However, their previous match against Portland Timbers saw them concede three goals without reply, highlighting some defensive vulnerabilities on the road. Despite this inconsistency, San Diego have maintained a respectable 4th position in the league, accumulating 4 points from their opening two games. Their goal-scoring record averages out to 1 goal per game away from home, whilst they concede an average of 1.5 goals per game on their travels. Interestingly, both of their recent away matches have seen contrasting scorelines, with one falling under 2.5 goals and the other going over, reflecting the unpredictable nature of their away performances.
