Recent form

Minnesota United

Minnesota United's recent form has been mixed, with three wins, two draws, and one loss in their last six games. Despite the inconsistency, they have managed to maintain a strong position in the league, currently sitting in 2nd place with 25 points from 13 games. The team has been involved in several high-scoring matches, with 83% of their last six games featuring over 2.5 goals. Notably, their most recent match against Colorado Rapids ended in a thrilling 3-3 draw. Although Minnesota United has not kept any clean sheets in their last six games, they have scored in every match, averaging 1.83 goals per game while conceding 1.67 goals per game.

Sporting Kansas City

Sporting Kansas City's recent form has been inconsistent, with four losses in their last six games, including a current run of three consecutive defeats in the Major League Soccer (MLS). Despite their struggles, they have managed to progress in the US Open Cup, securing wins against FC Tulsa (4-0) and Union Omaha (2-1). Notably, their games have been high-scoring affairs, with all six matches featuring over 2.5 goals and both teams finding the back of the net in 83% of those encounters. However, their league position of 14th with just 11 points from 14 games suggests that Sporting Kansas City needs to address their defensive vulnerabilities and improve their consistency to climb up the MLS standings.
