Sporting Kansas City – the shape of the team and its analysis:
“The Wizards” reached the conference semifinals last season. Now there is an ever-increasing risk of not making the playoffs at all. The club continues to play in the U.S. Open Cup and got off to a pretty good start in MLS, with a pair of wins and ten points in seven rounds.
But from mid-spring onward, the slump began. After a 2-3 with Inter Miami, they picked up a draw with St. Louis City. But then there were seven defeats in a row. They only broke the slump in June, at home to the Seattle Sounders. But then it was a trip to the Galaxy and another setback, 2-4.
Real Salt Lake – the shape of the team and its analysis:
“The Royals” were able to make the playoffs last season, only to fall out there in the first round. Now, the team had already crashed out of the US Open Cup and only picked up 4 points in the first four rounds.
But then it managed to gain momentum. Since March there have been no defeats, and draws can be counted literally on the fingers. However, they finished the spring by splitting points on the road with Dallas and Seattle Sounders. But after returning home, they defeated Austin 5-1 with Arango's hat trick - now the division's top scorer has 16 goals. Against the Montreal Impact, he was silent, and the duel brought a 0-0 scoreline.
