Recent form

Los Angeles FC

Los Angeles FC has shown mixed form in their recent games, with a current run of three unbeaten matches (two wins and a draw). Their last six games have produced three wins, two draws, and one loss, demonstrating resilience after a heavy 5-1 defeat to Columbus Crew. LAFC's attacking prowess is evident, scoring an impressive 12 goals in six games (2 goals per game average), including two 3-0 victories against Seattle Sounders and Club Tijuana. Defensively, they've been solid with three clean sheets in their last six matches, though the 5-1 loss to Columbus Crew significantly impacts their goals conceded average. The team's games tend to be high-scoring affairs, with 67% of their recent matches featuring over 2.5 goals, providing excitement for fans and neutrals alike.

San Jose Earthquakes

The San Jose Earthquakes have shown inconsistent form in their recent matches, with a notable turnaround in their latest game. After experiencing a concerning three-game losing streak in Major League Soccer, the team's fortunes varied in the Leagues Cup. They managed a draw against Guadalajara Chivas and suffered a narrow loss to LA Galaxy before bouncing back impressively with a high-scoring 5-0 victory over Necaxa. This last match stands out as particularly remarkable, given that it's the only game in their recent six where they kept a clean sheet and also their highest-scoring performance. Despite the positive end to this run, their overall form remains shaky with only one win, one draw, and four losses in their last six games, showcasing a need for more consistency in both their offensive output and defensive solidity.

The team has been consistently scoring, netting at least once in each of their last six home games, with an impressive average of 2 goals per game.

The 5-1 defeat to Columbus Crew stands out as a particularly high-scoring game and an anomaly in their recent defensive record.

San Jose Earthquakes

The San Jose Earthquakes have been struggling significantly in their recent away games, experiencing a concerning run of five consecutive losses before managing a draw in their latest match. Their defensive woes are particularly evident, conceding an alarming 20 goals in just six games, averaging 3.33 goals conceded per game. Two notably high-scoring games stand out: a 6-2 defeat against Los Angeles FC and a 5-1 loss to New York City FC, highlighting their defensive vulnerabilities. Despite scoring in 67% of these matches, their offensive output of 1.17 goals per game hasn't been enough to overcome their defensive issues. The team has failed to keep a clean sheet in any of these away games, contributing to their poor goal difference of -13 across the six matches.
