Recent form
St. Louis CITY
St. Louis CITY have been struggling for form recently, with their last six matches yielding only one victory, which came in the US Open Cup against Union Omaha. Their league form has been particularly poor, as they have not won in their last nine Major League Soccer fixtures, leaving them languishing in 13th position. The team's defensive fragility is evident, having conceded 10 goals in their last six matches, including a heavy 4-1 defeat to Seattle Sounders. Despite their defensive woes, St. Louis CITY have managed to find the net consistently, scoring in five of their last six games. However, their inability to keep clean sheets, with only two in the last six matches, has cost them dearly. The high-scoring nature of their recent fixtures is noteworthy, with 67% of their games featuring over 2.5 goals, suggesting that while St. Louis CITY are struggling, their matches are often entertaining affairs.
Sporting Kansas City
Sporting Kansas City's recent form has been notably inconsistent, with the team alternating between wins and losses in their last six matches. Despite their mid-table position, they have shown a flair for high-scoring encounters, particularly in their 5-3 victory over San Jose Earthquakes. Their attacking prowess is evident, having scored an impressive 11 goals in six games, averaging 1.83 goals per match. However, their defensive record is a concern, conceding 10 goals in the same period. The team have managed two clean sheets, but have also suffered heavy defeats, including a 4-2 loss to Portland Timbers. With an average of 3.5 total goals per game, Sporting Kansas City's matches have been entertaining affairs, split evenly between high-scoring and more defensive encounters. Their inconsistent form is further highlighted by their win-loss-win-loss pattern, suggesting they are struggling to build momentum in the league.

Recent home/away form
St. Louis CITY
St. Louis CITY's recent home form has been rather inconsistent, with the team struggling to find a consistent rhythm. They have managed just two wins in their last six home matches, with three losses and a draw completing the picture. Interestingly, their defensive record has been relatively solid, keeping three clean sheets in this period. However, their attacking prowess has been somewhat lacking, scoring only 0.83 goals per game on average. The majority of their home matches (67%) have been low-scoring affairs, with fewer than 2.5 goals. Despite this, St. Louis CITY have maintained a balanced goal difference, scoring and conceding an equal number of goals (5) across these six games. While there are no notable winning or losing streaks, the team's inability to secure consistent results at home may be a concern for their supporters and coaching staff.
Sporting Kansas City
Sporting Kansas City's recent away form has been particularly poor, with the team currently on a run of three consecutive away defeats in Major League Soccer. Their last six away matches have yielded just one victory, a high-scoring 5-3 win against San Jose Earthquakes, which stands out as an anomaly in their otherwise disappointing run. The team have struggled defensively, failing to keep a clean sheet in any of these matches and conceding an average of 2.17 goals per game. Their attacking output has been somewhat better, scoring in 83% of these games, but it hasn't been enough to compensate for their defensive frailties. The majority of Sporting Kansas City's away matches (83%) have seen over 2.5 goals, suggesting their games are often entertaining affairs for neutral spectators, if not for their own supporters.
