Chicago Fire 2-2 DC United

Current streaks

Recent form

Chicago Fire

Chicago Fire have shown mixed form in their recent matches, with their last six games yielding two wins, two draws, and two losses. The team's defensive record has been relatively solid, keeping three clean sheets in this period. However, their most recent competitive match in Major League Soccer resulted in a high-scoring 4-2 defeat against Columbus Crew, which stands out as the highest-scoring game in their recent fixtures. Prior to this, Chicago Fire demonstrated their attacking prowess in a friendly against San Jose Earthquakes, securing an impressive 5-1 victory. Despite these fluctuations in performance, the Fire have maintained a positive goal difference of 2 over their last six matches, averaging 1.33 goals scored per game whilst conceding an average of 1 goal per game. Their current 15th position in the league table after just one match suggests it's too early to draw conclusions about their league campaign, but their pre-season form indicates potential for both defensive stability and attacking flair.

DC United

DC United have shown mixed form in their recent matches, with two wins, three draws, and one loss in their last six games. The team have been involved in several high-scoring encounters, particularly their 4-1 defeat against Nashville SC in a friendly match. Interestingly, DC United have maintained a consistent goal-scoring record, netting 10 goals in their last six matches, averaging 1.67 goals per game. However, their defensive performance has been a concern, as they have conceded the same number of goals and have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 16 matches. The team's matches have been entertaining for neutrals, with both teams scoring in all of their recent games and 67% of the matches featuring over 2.5 goals. Despite their mixed results, DC United have managed to secure 7th position in the league table after their opening match of the season, a 2-2 draw against Toronto FC.

Recent home/away form

Chicago Fire

Chicago Fire's recent home form has been a mixed bag, with two wins, one draw, and three losses in their last six matches at home. The Fire have struggled to find consistency, alternating between positive and negative results. Their most impressive performance came in their latest friendly against San Jose Earthquakes, where they scored a season-high five goals in a 5-1 victory. However, they've also suffered two consecutive home defeats prior to that, including a heavy 3-0 loss to Nashville SC in their last Major League Soccer match. Defensively, the Fire have managed only one clean sheet in their last six home games, whilst their goal-scoring record has been inconsistent, with three matches seeing them fail to score at all. Despite this, their overall goal difference remains positive, thanks largely to their recent high-scoring win.

DC United

DC United have been in impressive form away from home, winning four of their last six matches on the road. Their recent away performances have been characterised by high-scoring affairs, with an average of 4 goals per game and both teams scoring in all six matches. Notably, DC United's 4-3 victory against Nashville SC was a particularly thrilling encounter, whilst their 4-1 defeat to the same team in a friendly shows the unpredictable nature of their away form. The team have demonstrated a potent attacking threat, netting 13 goals in these six games, but their defence has been somewhat leaky, conceding 11 goals and failing to keep a clean sheet. With 83% of these matches seeing over 2.5 goals, DC United's away games have certainly been entertaining for neutral spectators.
