Despite being 11th in the league table, they have demonstrated an ability to score consistently, netting 11 goals in their last six matches at an average of 1.83 goals per game.

The team's matches have been high-scoring affairs, with 83% of their recent games featuring over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring in all six matches. Their most notable result was a 4-2 defeat against FC Dallas, which exemplifies the team's tendency for goal-laden encounters. While Sporting Kansas City have shown resilience by bouncing back from consecutive losses with two wins and a draw in their last three matches, their inconsistent form and defensive vulnerabilities remain areas for improvement.

Seattle Sounders

The Seattle Sounders have endured a challenging period, with their recent form showing a concerning downturn. The team have experienced a four-match losing streak, which was only broken by their most recent victory against Austin FC. Notably, three of these losses came in the FIFA Club World Cup, where they conceded seven goals whilst only scoring two. Their defensive frailties are evident in their recent statistics, with the Sounders conceding an average of 1.83 goals per game over their last six matches. Despite this, they have managed to maintain a mid-table position in the league, sitting 5th with 30 points from 20 games. The clean sheet against Austin FC offers a glimmer of hope, but with only five goals scored in their last six games, the Sounders' attacking output remains a concern. Their goal difference of -6 over this period underscores the need for improvement at both ends of the pitch if they are to climb the table.
