Recent form

Columbus Crew

Columbus Crew have shown mixed form in their recent matches, with a notable improvement in their league performances. Despite a challenging run in their last six games, which included three losses, the Crew have managed to secure second position in the league table with six points from two matches. Their 4-2 victory over Chicago Fire stands out as a particularly high-scoring affair, showcasing their attacking prowess. However, the team's defensive record is a concern, conceding more goals (9) than they've scored (7) in their last six outings. The Crew's ability to keep clean sheets has been limited, with only one in this period, while their matches have averaged 2.67 total goals. Interestingly, both teams have scored in just 33% of these games, suggesting a tendency for one-sided scorelines. The team's recent form in Major League Soccer is encouraging, with back-to-back wins against New England Revolution and Chicago Fire, potentially indicating an upturn in their league fortunes.

Houston Dynamo

Their defensive frailties are evident, having kept just one clean sheet in their last six matches and conceding an average of 2.33 goals per game. However, the team's attacking prowess remains a bright spot, with both teams scoring in 83% of their recent fixtures and over 2.5 goals being scored in 83% of matches. The 3-3 draw against New England Revolution stands out as a particularly high-scoring affair, showcasing the Dynamo's ability to find the back of the net despite their defensive struggles.
