Indy Eleven form and stats

With 3 USL Championship wins, 2 draws and 6 defeats from their home games, Indy Eleven are certainly not brimming with confidence.

No payout for Eleven in their previous match, an away game at Tulsa Roughnecks that ended in defeat 1-2.

Ahead of that match, Indy Eleven lost 0-1 at home to Atlanta United II.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Eleven's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played one game, won zero matches, drawn one and lost zero.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Indy Eleven here at Michael A. Carroll Stadium in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (10 from 11 games). Eleven have conceded 12 in these home matches.

Sporting Kansas City II form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Sporting Kansas City II so far with only 9 points returning home. The records show 2-3-6 (win-draw-lose). Kansas has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

E. Mushagalusa, O. Cisneros and R. Smith scored in Kansas's previous match, the home game against OKC Energy that ended 3-0.

A 0-1 loss hosting Birmingham Legion before that.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Kansas playing away, we found three games. Results were one away win, zero draws and two home wins.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Sporting Kansas City II have scored 13 goals in 11 league games away. The Kansas manager P. Corradi Nagamura has some worries about the defense as 22 goals have been conceded in these travels.
