Recent form
New York Red Bulls
The New York Red Bulls are experiencing a challenging period, having won only one of their last six matches. Their recent form shows inconsistency, with a pattern of alternating between losses and non-losses (draws or wins). Notably, there are two high-scoring games in this stretch: a impressive 4-1 away victory against Toronto FC and a heavy 5-1 home defeat to local rivals New York City FC. The team's defensive record is concerning, having conceded 13 goals in the last six games and failing to keep a clean sheet. Interestingly, both teams have scored in all of these matches, and 83% of the games have seen over 2.5 goals, indicating a trend towards high-scoring encounters. Despite their mixed form, the Red Bulls are maintaining a respectable 7th position in the league table.
Columbus Crew
The Columbus Crew are currently enjoying a strong run of form, sitting in 2nd position in the league with 63 points from 33 games. Their recent performances have been particularly impressive, with three wins, two draws, and only one loss in their last six matches. The team has been involved in several high-scoring encounters, notably their 4-3 victory over Orlando City and their recent 4-0 thrashing of New England Revolution. Their offensive prowess is evident, having scored 16 goals in the last six games, averaging an impressive 2.67 goals per game. However, their defense has been somewhat leaky, conceding 11 goals during this period. The Crew's matches have been exciting for spectators, with both teams scoring in 83% of these games and over 2.5 goals being scored in 83% of them as well. Their current two-game winning streak, including the emphatic 4-0 victory in their most recent match, suggests they are hitting their stride at a crucial point in the season.

Recent home/away form
New York Red Bulls
The New York Red Bulls have struggled to find consistent form at home in their recent matches. They haven't secured a win in their last five home games, with their most recent victory coming against FC Cincinnati on July 20, 2024. The team's defensive performance has been a concern, especially in their latest match where they suffered a heavy 5-1 defeat to New York City FC, which stands out as a particularly high-scoring game. Over the last six home games, the Red Bulls have managed only one clean sheet and have conceded an average of 1.83 goals per game, significantly higher than their scoring rate of 1.17 goals per game. This negative goal difference (-4) in recent home matches reflects their current challenges in both attack and defense at their own stadium.
Columbus Crew
Columbus Crew's recent away form has been impressive, with the team unbeaten in their last five road games. They've secured three wins, two draws, and only one loss in their last six away matches, showcasing their resilience on the road. Notably, the Crew have kept three clean sheets during this stretch, demonstrating solid defensive performances. Their most remarkable result was a high-scoring 5-1 victory against Los Angeles FC, which significantly contributed to their impressive goal tally of 11 goals in six away games. With an average of 1.83 goals scored per game and only 0.83 conceded, Columbus Crew has maintained a positive goal difference of 6 in these away fixtures, underlining their strong overall performance away from home.
