Recent form

Sporting Kansas City

Sporting Kansas City have been experiencing a turbulent run of form, currently sitting 14th in the league with just 7 points from 10 games. Their recent results show a pattern of inconsistency, alternating between wins and losses in their last six matches without recording a single draw. The team's attacking prowess is evident, scoring an impressive 1.83 goals per game, but their defensive frailties are a concern, conceding 2.17 goals per game. A particularly high-scoring affair was their recent 5-3 victory away at San Jose Earthquakes, contributing to the fact that 67% of their matches have seen over 2.5 goals. Despite managing only one clean sheet in this period, Sporting Kansas City have been involved in entertaining fixtures, with both teams scoring in two-thirds of their games and an average of 4 goals per match.

LA Galaxy

LA Galaxy are currently enduring a poor run of form, having failed to win any of their last six matches across all competitions. The team sit in 15th position in the league table, with a concerning goal difference of -6. Their defensive struggles are evident, conceding an average of 1.83 goals per game in their last six outings, whilst only managing to keep one clean sheet during this period. The Galaxy's attacking output has also been lacklustre, scoring just 0.83 goals per game on average. Their most recent match against Portland Timbers was particularly high-scoring, ending in a 4-2 defeat. Notably, LA Galaxy are currently on a three-game losing streak in Major League Soccer and haven't tasted victory in their last nine matches overall, which will be a significant cause for concern for the coaching staff and supporters alike.

Recent home/away form

Sporting Kansas City

Sporting Kansas City's recent home form has been rather concerning, with the side struggling to find consistency at their own ground. The team have managed only one win in their last six home matches, suffering four defeats and securing one draw. A particularly worrying trend is their three-match losing streak at home, which was only briefly interrupted by a draw against Minnesota United. Defensively, Sporting Kansas City have been porous, conceding an average of two goals per game and keeping just one clean sheet in this period. The match against Minnesota United stood out as a high-scoring affair, ending in a thrilling 3-3 draw. Despite their struggles, Sporting Kansas City have shown they can still be potent in attack, scoring two or more goals in three of these six matches. However, their overall goal difference of -4 in these games highlights the team's defensive frailties, which have contributed significantly to their poor home form.

LA Galaxy

LA Galaxy are currently experiencing a poor run of form away from home, having failed to secure a victory in their last six away matches. The team are on a three-match losing streak in their most recent away fixtures, which includes defeats in both Major League Soccer and the CONCACAF Champions League. Defensively, the Galaxy have struggled, conceding an average of 1.67 goals per game and failing to keep a clean sheet in any of these six matches. Their attacking output has also been lacklustre, scoring just 0.83 goals per game on average. The highest-scoring match in this run was their 3-2 loss to Tigres UANL in the CONCACAF Champions League, which was the only game where they managed to score more than once. Despite the challenging period, LA Galaxy have shown some resilience, managing to secure draws against Minnesota United and Portland Timbers, both ending 2-1 and 1-1 respectively.
