Current streaks

Recent form

Nashville SC

Nashville SC's recent form presents a mixed picture, with the team experiencing a notable swing in fortunes over their last six matches. The club enjoyed a impressive three-game winning streak in the middle of this period, during which they scored eight goals and conceded only one, including a resounding 3-0 victory over CF Montréal. However, this positive run was bookended by two consecutive losses on either side, suggesting inconsistency in their performances. Their goal-scoring prowess is evident, with an average of 1.67 goals per game, while their defence has been relatively solid, conceding 1.17 goals per match. The team's matches tend to be high-scoring affairs, with 67% of their games seeing over 2.5 goals. Despite their current 9th position in the league, Nashville SC's goal difference of +3 and their ability to keep clean sheets in a third of their recent matches indicate potential for improvement as the season progresses.

Real Salt Lake

Real Salt Lake have shown inconsistent form in their recent matches, with their last six games resulting in a WLWLLW pattern. The team have struggled to find consistency, alternating between wins and losses without any significant winning or losing streaks. Notably, Real Salt Lake have managed to secure two clean sheets in their last six games, both resulting in 2-0 victories against LA Galaxy and Seattle Sounders. Their goal difference stands at zero, having scored and conceded an equal number of goals (7) across these six matches. The majority of their games (67%) have seen under 2.5 goals, suggesting a tendency towards tighter, lower-scoring affairs. However, their match against San Diego stands out as a higher-scoring encounter, with Real Salt Lake conceding three goals in a 3-1 home defeat.

Real Salt Lake

Real Salt Lake's recent away form has been mixed, with the team struggling to find consistency on the road. In their last six away matches, they have managed only one win, alongside three draws and two losses. The side have been involved in some high-scoring affairs, notably a 3-3 draw with New York Red Bulls and a heavy 4-0 defeat to San Jose Earthquakes. Defensively, Real Salt Lake have been vulnerable, conceding 11 goals in these six matches, with only one clean sheet to their name. Their goal difference of -5 and an average of 1.83 goals conceded per game highlight their defensive frailties away from home. However, they have shown resilience in some matches, securing draws against tough opponents like CS Herediano in the CONCACAF Champions League and St. Louis CITY in a friendly.
