Real Salt Lake 2-0 New England Revolution

Current streaks

Recent form

Real Salt Lake

Real Salt Lake's recent form shows a concerning trend, with the team experiencing a challenging period despite their 3rd place position in the league. They are currently on a three-game losing streak across all competitions, which is their most significant negative run in this dataset. The team has struggled defensively, conceding 13 goals in their last 6 matches (2.17 per game) and failing to keep a clean sheet during this period. Notably, their last three losses have all been by multiple-goal margins, including a 3-0 defeat to Houston Dynamo in the Leagues Cup. While there are no particularly high-scoring games from Real Salt Lake's perspective, four out of the six matches featured 3 or more total goals, aligning with the 67% rate of games going over 2.5 goals. This combination of defensive vulnerabilities and a relatively low scoring output (0.83 goals per game) suggests Real Salt Lake may need to address both ends of the pitch to regain their earlier season form that put them in 3rd place.

New England Revolution

The New England Revolution's recent form has been a mixed bag, with their last six games showing resilience but also inconsistency. The team's most notable result is their latest match, a commanding 5-0 away victory against CF Montréal, which stands out as their highest-scoring game in this period. This win also marks their second clean sheet in the last six games. Despite being in 12th position in the league, the Revolution have shown an ability to score consistently, averaging 1.67 goals per game, while their defense has been relatively solid, conceding 1.33 goals per game. Interestingly, 67% of their recent matches have seen both teams score, and the same percentage of games have ended with under 2.5 goals, suggesting a tendency for close, competitive matches. The team's ability to avoid defeats is evident, with only one loss in their last six games, coming in a heavy 5-1 defeat to Philadelphia Union, which contrasts sharply with their recent high-scoring win.

Recent home/away form

Real Salt Lake

Real Salt Lake has demonstrated strong home form recently, winning four of their last six matches at Rio Tinto Stadium. Notably, they've been involved in several high-scoring encounters, with two 5-goal performances against Atlanta United and Austin FC. Their offensive prowess is evident, averaging an impressive 2.5 goals per game in their last six home matches. However, they've struggled to keep clean sheets, conceding in all six games. The team's matches tend to be entertaining for spectators, with 67% of their recent home games featuring over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring. Despite a recent loss to San Jose Earthquakes, Real Salt Lake had a three-game winning streak at home prior to that defeat, showcasing their ability to string together positive results in front of their home fans.

New England Revolution

The New England Revolution's recent away form presents a mixed picture with some notable highlights. They've experienced alternating periods of success and struggle, with their last six away games resulting in an even split of three wins and three losses. The team has been involved in several high-scoring encounters, particularly their most recent 5-0 victory against CF Montréal and a 5-1 defeat to Philadelphia Union. Their away games have been characterized by high-scoring affairs, with 83% of these matches seeing over 2.5 goals and an impressive average of 4.17 total goals per game. While the Revolution has shown the ability to score consistently, averaging 2 goals per away game, their defense has been somewhat leaky, conceding an average of 2.17 goals per game on the road. Despite these defensive challenges, they managed one clean sheet in this stretch, showcasing their potential for solid defensive performances.
