Current streaks

Recent form

FC Dallas

FC Dallas is currently experiencing a challenging period in their recent form, sitting 10th in the league with 34 points from 28 games. Their last six matches have resulted in only one win, one draw, and four losses, indicating a struggle for consistency. Notably, there's a concerning three-game losing streak in their most recent matches. The team's offensive output remains decent, averaging 1.5 goals per game, but their defense has been vulnerable, conceding an average of 2.17 goals per match. This defensive fragility is highlighted by the fact that they've kept only one clean sheet in the last six games. High-scoring affairs seem to be a trend for FC Dallas, with 67% of their recent matches seeing over 2.5 goals, including a thrilling 4-3 victory against DC United. The team's negative goal difference of -4 and the fact that both teams have scored in 67% of their recent games suggest that while FC Dallas can find the net, they're often involved in open, high-scoring encounters.

Los Angeles FC

Los Angeles FC's recent form has been mixed, with only one win in their last six games across all competitions. Despite their current 2nd place position in the league, their recent performances have been underwhelming, scoring just 5 goals while conceding 10 in this period. The team has struggled defensively, keeping only two clean sheets and conceding an average of 1.67 goals per game. Their most recent match, a 4-2 loss to local rivals LA Galaxy, was particularly high-scoring and highlights their defensive vulnerabilities. Interestingly, 67% of their recent games have seen under 2.5 goals, suggesting a trend towards lower-scoring matches despite the occasional high-scoring outlier. The team's inability to consistently find the back of the net, averaging less than a goal per game in this stretch, is a concern that needs addressing if they hope to maintain their strong league position.

Recent home/away form

FC Dallas

FC Dallas has shown mixed form at home recently, with their last six games resulting in an even split of three wins and three losses. Notably, they enjoyed a three-game winning streak in July, scoring multiple goals in each of those victories. However, their momentum has faltered in their two most recent home matches, suffering back-to-back losses. The team has been involved in some high-scoring encounters, particularly their 3-2 loss to Colorado Rapids and their 3-1 win over Austin FC. Despite their inconsistent results, FC Dallas has maintained a respectable goal-scoring record, averaging 1.67 goals per game in their last six home matches, while their defense has been somewhat vulnerable, conceding an average of 1.5 goals per game.

Los Angeles FC

Los Angeles FC's recent away form shows a mixed but generally positive performance. The team has secured three wins, one draw, and two losses in their last six away games, demonstrating resilience on the road. Notably, LAFC has been particularly dominant against Seattle Sounders, winning three consecutive away matches against them with impressive 3-0 scorelines in both Major League Soccer and Leagues Cup fixtures. These high-scoring victories highlight LAFC's attacking prowess away from home. However, their most recent away game resulted in a 4-2 loss to LA Galaxy, indicating some defensive vulnerabilities. With 10 goals scored and 7 conceded in these six games, LAFC maintains a positive goal difference and averages 1.67 goals per game away from home, showcasing their offensive capabilities on the road.
