Recent form

Sporting Kansas City

Sporting Kansas City are currently experiencing a challenging run of form, finding themselves in 13th position in the league with just one point from four matches. The team's recent performances have been particularly concerning, with a five-match losing streak only broken by a high-scoring 3-3 draw against Minnesota United in their latest outing. This draw ended a run of five consecutive defeats across all competitions, including Major League Soccer and CONCACAF Champions League fixtures. Defensively, Sporting Kansas City have struggled, conceding an average of two goals per game in their last six matches and failing to keep a clean sheet in their past six outings. Their attacking output has also been limited, scoring just six goals in this period. Notably, 67% of their recent matches have seen both teams score and over 2.5 goals, suggesting a tendency for open, high-scoring affairs despite their poor results.

Los Angeles FC

Los Angeles FC's recent form presents a stark contrast, with their last six matches split evenly between three wins and three losses. The team have experienced a concerning downturn in form, currently on a three-match losing streak across all competitions, which has seen them concede eight goals in their last three outings. This defensive frailty is particularly evident in their 5-2 defeat against Seattle Sounders, a notably high-scoring affair. Despite this recent slump, LAFC have shown their potential earlier in the run, keeping three consecutive clean sheets and winning those matches. Their current 8th position in the league table, with 6 points from 4 games, reflects their inconsistent performances. The statistics reveal a balanced goal difference, with LAFC scoring and conceding at an identical rate of 1.33 goals per game, whilst their matches have been evenly split between high and low-scoring affairs.

Recent home/away form

Sporting Kansas City

Sporting Kansas City have been struggling with their home form recently, enduring a concerning run of four consecutive defeats before their most recent match, which ended in a high-scoring 3-3 draw against Minnesota United. The team's defensive woes are particularly evident, as they have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of their last six home games, conceding an average of 2 goals per match. Despite this, their attack has shown flashes of brilliance, notably in their 4-1 victory over Colorado Rapids. The majority of their home fixtures (67%) have seen over 2.5 goals, suggesting that fans can expect entertaining, high-scoring encounters at Children's Mercy Park. However, with only one win in their last six home matches and a negative goal difference of -4, Sporting Kansas City will be keen to improve their home record to climb up from their current 13th position in the league.

Los Angeles FC

Los Angeles FC's recent away form has been concerning, with the team currently on a three-match losing streak in competitive fixtures. Their last six away games have seen LAFC struggle defensively, conceding a worrying 13 goals at an average of 2.17 per game. The most notable result was a heavy 5-2 defeat to Seattle Sounders in Major League Soccer, highlighting their vulnerability on the road. Despite these defensive woes, LAFC have managed to find the net in five of their last six away matches, though this hasn't been enough to secure positive results consistently. Their only clean sheet and victory in this run came in a friendly against Chicago Fire, which stands out as an anomaly in their otherwise poor away form. The high-scoring nature of LAFC's away games is evident, with 83% of these matches featuring over 2.5 goals, suggesting that their fixtures are often entertaining affairs for neutral spectators.
