San Jose Earthquakes vs Sporting Kansas City

Current streaks

Recent form

San Jose Earthquakes

San Jose Earthquakes have been experiencing a turbulent period of form, currently sitting 9th in the league table with 10 points from 8 games. The Earthquakes have struggled defensively, failing to keep a clean sheet in their last 7 matches and conceding an average of 1.83 goals per game. Their recent run includes a concerning streak of three consecutive losses, which was only broken by a draw against Seattle Sounders. However, the standout result in this period was an impressive 6-1 victory over DC United, showcasing the team's potential for high-scoring performances. Despite this outlier, the Earthquakes have been inconsistent in front of goal, scoring 10 times in their last 6 games but failing to find the net in one match. With both teams scoring in 83% of these fixtures and over 2.5 goals occurring in 67% of them, San Jose's matches have been entertaining affairs for neutrals, if not always positive for the team's supporters.

Sporting Kansas City

Sporting Kansas City are currently enduring a difficult spell in the Major League Soccer, sitting in 14th position with just 4 points from 8 games. Their recent form has been particularly poor, with four losses in their last six matches, including a current run of three defeats in four games. The team's defensive frailties are evident, having conceded 13 goals in their last six outings at an alarming rate of 2.17 per game. However, their matches have been entertaining for neutrals, with 67% of their recent games seeing over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring. A notable high-scoring affair was their most recent 4-2 defeat to Portland Timbers, contributing to their total goals average of 3.67 per game. Despite these defensive struggles, Sporting Kansas City have managed to maintain a decent scoring record, netting 1.5 goals per game on average, although this hasn't been enough to offset their leaky defence.

Recent home/away form

San Jose Earthquakes

San Jose Earthquakes' recent home form has been a mixed bag, with two wins, one draw, and three losses in their last six matches at PayPal Park. The Earthquakes have shown flashes of brilliance, particularly in their most recent outing where they thrashed DC United 6-1, demonstrating their potential for high-scoring games. However, they've also struggled with consistency, suffering a run of three consecutive home defeats from February to March. Despite their inconsistent form, the Earthquakes have managed to maintain a positive goal difference, scoring an impressive 12 goals whilst conceding only 6 in their last six home matches. Their ability to score has been notable, averaging 2 goals per game, though they've only managed one clean sheet during this period. Interestingly, half of their matches have seen both teams score, and there's been an even split between games going over and under 2.5 goals, suggesting unpredictable affairs for spectators.

Sporting Kansas City

Sporting Kansas City have been struggling significantly in their away fixtures, currently enduring a four-match losing streak on the road in competitive matches. Their last six away games have yielded no victories, with two draws in friendlies followed by four consecutive losses in official competitions. The team's offensive output has been particularly concerning, managing to score only three goals across these six matches, averaging a mere 0.5 goals per game. Defensively, they've conceded eight goals in this period, keeping clean sheets only in the two friendly matches. Their most notable defeat came against Inter Miami in the CONCACAF Champions League, where they conceded three goals. With just four points from eight league games and sitting in 14th position, Sporting Kansas City's away form is a major contributor to their current league struggles.
