Recent form

Real Salt Lake

Real Salt Lake are currently experiencing a challenging period in their Major League Soccer campaign, sitting in 12th position with 14 points from 14 games. Their recent form has been underwhelming, with only one victory in their last six matches. The team's goal-scoring prowess has been particularly concerning, netting just five times in these fixtures at an average of 0.83 goals per game. Defensively, they've been slightly more solid, conceding six goals and keeping one clean sheet. Interestingly, two-thirds of their recent matches have seen fewer than 2.5 goals, suggesting a trend towards lower-scoring affairs. Their most impressive result came in a 3-1 away victory against San Diego, which stands out as their only win and highest-scoring game in this stretch. However, Real Salt Lake are currently on a four-match winless run, highlighting their struggle for consistency.

Vancouver Whitecaps

The Vancouver Whitecaps are enjoying a strong run of form, currently sitting atop the league table with an impressive 28 points from 13 games. Their recent performances have been particularly noteworthy, with the team unbeaten in their last 13 matches across all competitions. The Whitecaps' last six games have seen them secure three consecutive victories followed by three draws, demonstrating their resilience and ability to avoid defeat. Their attacking prowess is evident, with an average of 2 goals scored per game in their last six outings, while their defence has been relatively solid, conceding just over one goal per match. The team's goal-scoring ability is further highlighted by the fact that 83% of their recent games have seen over 2.5 goals, providing entertainment for fans. Notably, the Whitecaps have been involved in some high-scoring affairs, including a 3-1 victory over Inter Miami in the CONCACAF Champions League and a 3-1 win against Minnesota United in Major League Soccer.

Recent home/away form

Real Salt Lake

Real Salt Lake have struggled to find consistent form at home, with their recent results showing a mixed bag of performances. The team have managed just two wins in their last six home matches, alongside one draw and three losses. Notably, they've kept three clean sheets during this period, demonstrating some defensive resilience. However, their attacking output has been a concern, with only 0.83 goals scored per game on average. The majority of their home matches (83%) have been low-scoring affairs, with under 2.5 goals. Their most recent home game ended in a goalless draw against Portland Timbers, which aligns with the trend of tight, low-scoring contests. The highest-scoring game in this run was their 1-3 loss to San Diego, which stands out as an anomaly in an otherwise defensively-oriented set of matches.

Vancouver Whitecaps

The Vancouver Whitecaps have shown impressive resilience in their recent away form, remaining unbeaten in their last six matches on the road. Their record of two wins and four draws demonstrates a solid ability to avoid defeat, with notable victories against Inter Miami and Minnesota United, both ending in 3-1 scorelines. These high-scoring games highlight the Whitecaps' attacking prowess away from home, contributing to their impressive tally of 10 goals scored across the six matches. Defensively, they've been equally robust, conceding only six goals and keeping two clean sheets. The team's goal-scoring average of 1.67 per game, coupled with their tendency for matches to feature over 2.5 goals (67% of the time), suggests that Vancouver are involved in exciting, high-scoring affairs when playing away. Their current league position of 1st with 28 points from 13 games further underscores their strong overall form, both home and away.
