League Analysis · MLS Next Pro · 2026
At the foot of the table, Inter Miami II sit 30th with 5 points from 14 matches (goals 12:34). MLS Next Pro operates a playoff-based format rather than traditional relegation - but bottom-table form remains a key indicator of teams struggling to compete for postseason positions.
Austin II carry the strongest recent form in MLS Next Pro with 5 wins in their last 5 league games (sequence: W-W-W-W-W). Short-term form sequences like this are weighted heavily in StatsBrain's fixture probability distributions. Conversely, Huntsville City (L-D-L-L-L in last 5) sit among the division's coldest teams over the same window.
