Despite their mixed form, San Diego have managed to maintain a respectable 6th position in the league table, accumulating 14 points from 9 games, suggesting they have performed better earlier in the season.

Real Salt Lake

Real Salt Lake have been struggling to find consistent form, as evidenced by their current 11th position in the league table and their recent results. The team are currently on a two-match losing streak, having lost their last two games against Toronto FC and Nashville SC. Their last six matches have seen them alternate between wins and losses, with no draws in this period. Notably, Real Salt Lake have kept only one clean sheet in their last six games, which came in their 2-0 victory over LA Galaxy. The team's goal-scoring record has been poor, averaging less than a goal per game (0.83) in their last six matches, whilst conceding more than they score (1.17 goals per game). With 67% of their recent matches seeing under 2.5 goals, Real Salt Lake have been involved in predominantly low-scoring affairs, suggesting a struggle in both attack and defence.

Recent home/away form

San Diego

San Diego have shown impressive form at home recently, with a notable run of three unbeaten matches in their last three competitive fixtures. Their most recent outings have been particularly strong, securing back-to-back victories against Seattle Sounders and Los Angeles FC. The team's attacking prowess is evident, having scored three goals in each of these wins. A standout performance came in a friendly against New York Red Bulls, where San Diego thrashed their opponents 6-0, showcasing their potential for high-scoring encounters. Defensively, they've been solid, keeping two clean sheets in their last four home games. However, their form isn't without blemishes, as evidenced by the 3-1 defeat to New York City FC in a friendly. Overall, San Diego's home record suggests they are a formidable force, capable of both scoring freely and maintaining a tight defence.

Real Salt Lake

Real Salt Lake's recent away form has been somewhat inconsistent, with the team struggling to find consistent success on the road. They are currently on a run of two consecutive away defeats in Major League Soccer, having lost to Nashville SC and Minnesota United. Their away performances have been characterised by defensive frailties, conceding an average of two goals per game in their last six matches. The team have managed only one clean sheet during this period, which came in a goalless draw against CS Herediano in the CONCACAF Champions League. Their highest-scoring away match was a thrilling 3-3 draw with New York Red Bulls in a friendly, while their heaviest defeat came in a 4-0 loss to San Jose Earthquakes. Despite these challenges, Real Salt Lake have shown they can be competitive away from home, as evidenced by their 2-1 victory over Houston Dynamo.
