The team's ability to find the back of the net has been consistent, with both teams scoring in all of their last six matches. However, their tendency to concede has prevented them from converting draws into wins, with half of their recent games ending with over 2.5 goals. Currently sitting 6th in the league table with 28 points from 21 games, the Earthquakes have shown they can be competitive but may need to tighten up defensively to climb higher in the standings.
