Recent form

Sporting Kansas City

Sporting Kansas City's recent form has been a mixed bag, with the team currently sitting in 13th position in the league table. Despite a respectable goal-scoring average of 1.83 per game, their defensive frailties are evident, conceding an average of 2.17 goals per match. The team's last six matches have been particularly eventful, with three consecutive draws followed by a win and then two losses. Notably, 83% of their recent games have seen both teams score and over 2.5 goals, indicating high-scoring affairs. The match against New England Revolution stands out, ending in a thrilling 3-3 draw.
