Current streaks

Recent form

Sporting Kansas City

Sporting Kansas City's recent form has been inconsistent, with their last six games showing a mix of results. They've experienced a slight dip in form, losing their most recent match against Seattle Sounders. The team has managed two clean sheets in their last six games, both resulting in wins, including a 3-0 victory over Orlando City which stands out as their highest-scoring game in this period. Interestingly, their goals conceded per game (1.5) is higher than their goals scored per game (1.17), indicating defensive vulnerabilities. The team's position of 12th in the league with 28 points from 28 games suggests they're struggling to find consistent form. Their goal difference of -2 over the last six games further underlines their recent challenges, with a particularly heavy 4-0 defeat to Columbus Crew in the Leagues Cup being a low point.

Colorado Rapids

The Colorado Rapids are currently enjoying a strong run of form, sitting in 3rd position in the league with 47 points from 28 games. Their recent performances have been particularly impressive, with the team currently on a three-game unbeaten streak, including back-to-back wins in their last two Major League Soccer matches. The Rapids have shown resilience in high-scoring encounters, with 83% of their last six games featuring over 2.5 goals. Their 4-0 loss to Los Angeles FC in the Leagues Cup stands out as a particularly heavy defeat, but they've bounced back well since then. Despite conceding 10 goals in their last six games, the Rapids have managed to outscore their opponents, netting 9 times themselves. Their ability to involve both teams in the scoring is evident, with 67% of their recent matches seeing both sides find the net.

Colorado Rapids

The Colorado Rapids have shown impressive away form recently, winning three of their last six matches on the road. Notably, they've scored in five out of these six games, demonstrating consistent offensive productivity. Their most recent away victory against FC Dallas (3-2) highlights their ability to compete in high-scoring encounters, with four out of the six matches seeing over 2.5 goals. The team's resilience is evident in their draw against Club América and their comeback win against Toluca in the Leagues Cup. However, their defensive vulnerabilities are apparent, conceding 11 goals in six games, including a heavy 4-0 defeat to Los Angeles FC. Despite this, the Rapids have managed to maintain a positive momentum, going unbeaten in their last four away fixtures (2 wins, 2 draws), which bodes well for their current 3rd position in the league standings.
