Their most recent match stands out as a notable high-scoring game, a 5-1 victory over local rivals New York Red Bulls, which marks a significant improvement in their goal-scoring prowess. However, they've also been on the receiving end of heavy defeats, conceding five goals to Philadelphia Union just two games prior. The team's defensive record is a concern, having failed to keep a clean sheet in their last six matches and conceding an average of 2.33 goals per game. On a positive note, NYCFC has been consistently finding the net, with both teams scoring in 100% of these games and over 2.5 goals occurring in 67% of them.

Their goal-scoring ability is evident, averaging 1.5 goals per game, while their defense has been relatively solid, conceding 1.33 goals per game. The team's offensive prowess was particularly on display in their 4-1 victory over CF Montréal, marking their highest-scoring game in this stretch. Interestingly, 67% of their recent matches have seen both teams score, and the same percentage has resulted in over 2.5 total goals, indicating a tendency for exciting, high-scoring encounters. Despite the lack of extended winning or losing streaks, FC Cincinnati's ability to maintain a positive goal difference and secure points consistently has kept them in a strong league position.

Recent home/away form

New York City FC

New York City FC's recent home form shows a mixed bag of results, with no clear winning or losing streaks evident. However, their last six home games have been characterized by resilience, with only one loss in this period. The team has managed to secure two wins, three draws, and suffered one defeat, indicating a tendency to avoid losses at home. Notably, there was a high-scoring game against Orlando City, which NYCFC won 4-2, contributing significantly to their goal tally. The team's goal-scoring and conceding averages are identical at 1.67 per game, resulting in a neutral goal difference. With both teams scoring in 67% of these matches and an even split between games going over and under 2.5 goals, NYCFC's home games have been fairly entertaining and unpredictable.

FC Cincinnati

FC Cincinnati's recent away form shows a mix of results, with a current unbeaten streak of two games (1 win, 1 draw). Their last six away matches have yielded 3 wins, 1 draw, and 2 losses, indicating inconsistent but generally competitive performances on the road. The team has been involved in several high-scoring affairs, with 67% of these games seeing over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring in two-thirds of the matches. Notably, their 3-2 victory against DC United was their highest-scoring away game in this period. While their goal-scoring average of 1.5 goals per game is respectable, their defense has been somewhat leaky, conceding an average of 1.67 goals per game, resulting in a slight negative goal difference. Despite this, FC Cincinnati's overall league position (3rd) and points tally (56 from 30 games) suggest they are performing well in the broader context of the season.
