Current streaks

Recent form

Los Angeles FC

Los Angeles FC have shown mixed form in their recent matches, with a notable four-game winning streak across all competitions before their most recent defeat. The team have been particularly strong defensively, keeping four clean sheets in their last six games. However, their latest match against Seattle Sounders was a high-scoring affair, ending in a 5-2 defeat which significantly impacted their goals conceded statistics. Despite this setback, LAFC have maintained a positive goal difference and a respectable 5th position in the league table. Their offensive output has been consistent, averaging 1.5 goals per game, while their defensive record, barring the Seattle match, has been impressive. The team's ability to grind out 1-0 victories in three consecutive matches demonstrates their resilience, although the recent heavy defeat suggests potential vulnerability against high-scoring opponents.

Austin FC

Austin FC have shown inconsistent form in their recent matches, with a mixed bag of results across competitive and friendly fixtures. The team are currently on a two-game losing streak in Major League Soccer, having fallen to narrow 1-0 defeats against both Colorado Rapids and Portland Timbers. Despite this dip in form, Austin FC have managed to secure 10th position in the league table with 3 points from their opening 3 matches. Their defensive record has been relatively solid, conceding just 5 goals in their last 6 games and keeping one clean sheet. However, their attacking output has been a concern, with only 4 goals scored across these matches, resulting in a low average of 0.67 goals per game. Notably, 83% of their recent games have seen under 2.5 goals, suggesting a trend towards low-scoring affairs. While there haven't been any particularly high-scoring games, Austin FC's 2-1 victory over Nashville SC in a friendly stands out as their most prolific recent performance.

Recent home/away form

Los Angeles FC

Los Angeles FC have been in formidable form at home, boasting an impressive six-match winning streak across all competitions. Their defensive prowess is particularly noteworthy, with the team keeping five clean sheets in their last six home games and conceding only one goal during this period. LAFC have been consistent in their offensive output, scoring in every match, albeit with a modest average of 1.5 goals per game. The majority of their home fixtures (67%) have been low-scoring affairs, with under 2.5 goals. Their most convincing victory came in their most recent home match, a 3-0 win against Columbus Crew in the CONCACAF Champions League, which stands out as the highest-scoring game in this run. This solid home form has contributed to their current 5th position in the league, with 6 points from 3 games, suggesting LAFC are a formidable force on their own turf.

Austin FC

Austin FC have been struggling in their recent away fixtures, with a concerning run of four defeats in their last five matches on the road. Their only victory came against Portland Timbers in early October, which was followed by a string of three consecutive losses. The team's goal-scoring form has been particularly poor, managing to find the net only three times in their last six away games, averaging a mere 0.5 goals per game. Defensively, they've been somewhat more stable, conceding an average of one goal per match. Notably, 83% of their recent away games have seen under 2.5 goals, suggesting a trend towards low-scoring affairs. Despite their current 10th position in the league, Austin FC's away form will need significant improvement if they hope to climb the table.
