Recent form

Columbus Crew

The Columbus Crew have shown impressive form recently, with a current three-game winning streak in Major League Soccer and four wins in their last six matches across all competitions. Their offensive prowess is evident, scoring 10 goals in these six games, including a high-scoring 4-2 victory over New York City FC. Defensively, they've been solid, keeping three clean sheets in this period. The team's only loss in the stretch was a notable 4-0 defeat to Seattle Sounders, which stands out as an anomaly given their otherwise strong performances. Their current third-place position in the league with 50 points from 27 games reflects their good form, and their goal-scoring average of 1.67 per game outpaces their concession rate of 1.17, resulting in a positive goal difference. The Crew's matches have been evenly split between high and low-scoring affairs, with 50% of games seeing over 2.5 goals.

Orlando City

Orlando City is currently experiencing a strong run of form, having won their last three Major League Soccer matches in impressive fashion. The team has shown remarkable defensive solidity, keeping clean sheets in all three of these victories while scoring a total of eight goals. This streak is particularly noteworthy as it follows a period of mixed results, including two draws in the Leagues Cup and a heavy 3-0 defeat to Sporting Kansas City. The team's recent performances have significantly improved their goal difference, with nine goals scored and only four conceded in their last six games. Their defensive record is particularly impressive, with four clean sheets in this period and a low average of 0.67 goals conceded per game. The 3-0 scorelines in their last three MLS games highlight their current attacking prowess and defensive stability.

Recent home/away form

Columbus Crew

Columbus Crew's recent home form has been impressive, with a notable four-game winning streak before their most recent match. Their attacking prowess is evident, scoring an average of 2.33 goals per game in their last six home fixtures, with three of those games seeing them net three or more goals. The Crew's high-scoring tendency is further highlighted by the fact that 83% of these matches saw over 2.5 goals. However, their defensive record is a point of concern, as they've failed to keep a clean sheet in any of these games and conceded four goals in their most recent home match against Seattle Sounders. The team's ability to involve themselves in exciting, goal-filled encounters is underscored by the high percentage (83%) of games where both teams scored and the impressive total goals average of 4.17 per match.

Orlando City

Orlando City's recent away form shows a mix of impressive performances and challenging matches. The team has enjoyed a notable three-game winning streak on the road, defeating Toronto FC, New England Revolution, and Nashville SC consecutively, showcasing their ability to perform well away from home. However, their most recent away game resulted in a 3-0 loss to Sporting Kansas City, breaking their positive streak. Over their last six away games, Orlando City has been involved in several high-scoring matches, with all six games featuring over 2.5 goals. The team has been prolific in attack, scoring an average of 2 goals per game, but has also struggled defensively, conceding 1.83 goals per game. Their 4-2 loss to New York City FC stands out as a particularly high-scoring encounter. Despite the recent loss, Orlando City's overall away form remains strong, with 3 wins, 1 draw, and 2 losses in their last 6 away games.
