FC Cincinnati

FC Cincinnati's recent form shows a concerning trend, with the team currently on a three-game losing streak in Major League Soccer. Despite holding the 3rd position in the league with 56 points from 33 games, their last six matches have yielded only one win, two draws, and three losses.

Notably, 83% of their recent matches have seen both teams score and gone over 2.5 goals, indicating high-scoring affairs. The 3-2 loss to New York City FC and the 2-2 draw with Nashville SC stand out as particularly goal-rich encounters. While FC Cincinnati has maintained a strong league position, their current form suggests they may be struggling to maintain their earlier season performance.
