Current streaks

Recent form

Vancouver Whitecaps

The Vancouver Whitecaps have displayed mixed form in their recent fixtures, with a notable run of four consecutive draws in various competitions. Despite their first-place position in the league, their last six matches have yielded only one victory, accompanied by four draws and a heavy 5-0 defeat to Cruz Azul in the CONCACAF Champions League. This latter result stands out as a particularly high-scoring game and a significant setback for the Whitecaps. Their defensive record has been somewhat shaky, conceding 11 goals in six matches, with an average of 1.83 goals conceded per game. However, they have managed two clean sheets during this period. The team's attacking output has been modest, scoring 7 goals at an average of 1.17 per game. Interestingly, 67% of their recent matches have seen over 2.5 goals, suggesting a tendency towards high-scoring encounters despite their own relatively low scoring rate.

Seattle Sounders

The Seattle Sounders have shown mixed form in their recent matches, maintaining a respectable 4th position in the league despite a goal difference of -1 over their last six games. Whilst they have managed three wins in this period, their inconsistency is evident with two losses and a draw rounding out their results. The Sounders have struggled defensively, conceding an average of 1.5 goals per game, with a particularly heavy 4-0 defeat to Los Angeles FC standing out as their worst result. On a more positive note, they've secured two clean sheets in their last three matches, suggesting a potential improvement in their defensive organisation. The team's goal-scoring record has been modest, averaging 1.33 goals per game, with their most impressive offensive display coming in a 3-1 away victory against Houston Dynamo. Interestingly, exactly half of their recent matches have seen both teams score, and there's an even split between games going over and under 2.5 goals, indicating a balance between high-scoring affairs and tighter contests.

Their defensive prowess is evident, having conceded only four goals in these six games and keeping three clean sheets. The Whitecaps' attack has been particularly potent, scoring 13 goals at an average of 2.17 per game. A standout performance came in their 5-1 thrashing of Austin FC, showcasing their ability to dominate opponents.

Seattle Sounders

Their goal-scoring record has been modest, averaging just one goal per game, while their defence has been somewhat leaky, conceding 1.67 goals per match. The Sounders have struggled to keep clean sheets, managing only one in this period. Two particularly high-scoring games stand out: a 4-0 defeat to Los Angeles FC and a 3-0 loss to San Diego, both highlighting defensive vulnerabilities on the road. Despite these setbacks, the Sounders have shown resilience, securing a 3-1 victory against Houston Dynamo and a 1-0 win over FC Dallas. Their away form has contributed to their current 4th position in the league, with 26 points from 17 games, suggesting that while they've had some challenges on the road, they've managed to maintain a competitive standing overall.
