Current streaks

Recent form

DC United

DC United's recent form has been a mixed bag, with their last six games showcasing both offensive prowess and defensive vulnerabilities. The team has been involved in high-scoring affairs, with all of their last six matches featuring over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring in 67% of these games. Notably, their 3-3 draw against Atlanta United in the Leagues Cup was particularly high-scoring. While they've managed to secure three wins in this period, including an impressive 3-0 victory over Santos Laguna, they've also suffered two losses, one of which was a heavy 4-0 defeat to Celtic in a friendly. Despite their mid-table position (13th) in the league, DC United's recent games have been entertaining for neutrals, averaging 4 goals per match, with the team scoring and conceding at an equal rate of 2 goals per game.

FC Dallas

FC Dallas is experiencing a period of mixed form, with their last six games showing inconsistency. They are currently on a two-game losing streak in the Leagues Cup, following a brief upturn in their MLS performances where they won two consecutive matches against Austin FC and LA Galaxy. Their goal-scoring and conceding averages are identical at 1.33 per game, indicating a balanced but not particularly dominant offensive or defensive performance. The team has struggled to keep clean sheets, managing only one in their last six games. Interestingly, both teams have scored in two-thirds of these matches, suggesting FC Dallas' games are often competitive affairs. The 3-1 victory over Austin FC stands out as their highest-scoring game in this recent run, showcasing their potential for more prolific performances.

Recent home/away form

DC United

DC United's recent home form has been concerning, with the team experiencing a troubling run of four consecutive losses at Audi Field. Their last home victory came against Nashville SC in a Major League Soccer match, but since then, they've struggled significantly, conceding 13 goals in their last four home games while only scoring three. Particularly notable was a heavy 4-0 defeat to Celtic in a friendly match and a 4-1 loss to Houston Dynamo in MLS play, both highlighting defensive vulnerabilities. The team's goal difference of -9 over their last six games and their inability to keep a clean sheet in any of these matches further emphasize their defensive struggles. With 83% of their recent home games seeing over 2.5 goals, fans have been treated to high-scoring affairs, albeit often at DC United's expense.

FC Dallas

FC Dallas's recent away form has been concerning, with no wins in their last six road games. They're currently on a three-game losing streak away from home, which is particularly worrying. The team has been involved in several high-scoring matches, with four of their last six away games seeing over 2.5 goals, including three 3-2 losses. Defensively, FC Dallas has struggled, conceding an average of 2 goals per game and failing to keep a clean sheet in any of these matches. Their ability to score consistently (1.33 goals per game) is overshadowed by their defensive issues, resulting in a negative goal difference of -4. Interestingly, both teams have scored in all six of these away games, suggesting that while FC Dallas can find the net, they're having trouble outscoring their opponents on the road.
