Recent home/away form

FC Cincinnati

FC Cincinnati's recent home form has been somewhat inconsistent, with two wins, one draw, and three losses in their last six matches at TQL Stadium. The team have struggled to maintain a consistent run of results, alternating between wins, draws, and losses. Notably, their most recent home match saw them secure a narrow 1-0 victory against New York City FC, ending a two-match losing streak at home. The Cincinnati side have been involved in some high-scoring affairs, particularly their 4-1 thrashing of CF Montréal and a 4-2 defeat to Philadelphia Union in the Leagues Cup. Despite their mixed form, FC Cincinnati have managed to maintain a respectable position in the league table, sitting third with 59 points from 34 games. Their home matches have been quite entertaining for neutrals, with 67% of their recent games seeing both teams score and over 2.5 goals.

New York City FC

New York City FC's recent away form has been rather inconsistent, with the team struggling to find consistent success on the road. The club have managed only one win in their last six away matches, suffering three losses and securing two draws. Their most notable performance came in a high-scoring affair against local rivals New York Red Bulls, where they secured an impressive 5-1 victory. However, this offensive outburst seems to be an anomaly, as NYCFC have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of these six matches and have conceded an average of 1.67 goals per game. The team's goal-scoring has been somewhat erratic, with nine goals scored across the six matches, but five of those coming in a single game. Interestingly, 67% of their away matches have seen both teams score, suggesting that while NYCFC have struggled defensively, they've generally managed to find the back of the net themselves.
