Current streaks

Recent form

DC United

DC United have shown mixed form in their recent matches, with a notable inability to secure consecutive wins. Their last six games have yielded two victories, three draws, and one defeat, indicating a struggle for consistency. The team's goal-scoring prowess is evident, with an average of 1.67 goals per game, but their defensive record mirrors this exactly, conceding at the same rate. A particularly high-scoring encounter was their recent 4-1 loss to Orlando City, contributing to the fact that 83% of their matches have seen over 2.5 goals. Despite their mid-table position, DC United have been involved in entertaining fixtures, with both teams scoring in 83% of their games. The team's sole clean sheet in this period came in a goalless draw against CF Montréal, highlighting room for defensive improvement.

Columbus Crew

Columbus Crew have shown a mixed form in their recent matches, with a notable lack of victories in their last five games across all competitions. Despite sitting in a respectable 6th position in the league table, the Crew have struggled to find the back of the net, scoring only 0.67 goals per game in their last six matches. However, their defensive record has been relatively solid, keeping three clean sheets and conceding just 0.83 goals per game. The team's last five matches have been low-scoring affairs, with 67% of games featuring fewer than 2.5 goals. Their most significant result in this period was a 3-0 defeat to Los Angeles FC in the CONCACAF Champions League, which stands out as the highest-scoring game in their recent run. While the Crew have not experienced any extended winning or losing streaks, their current five-game winless run in all competitions suggests they may be struggling to maintain consistency.

Recent home/away form

DC United

DC United have shown a mixed form at home, with their recent results indicating a tendency to draw matches. The team have gone unbeaten in their last five home games, securing one win and four draws, which suggests a degree of resilience. However, their last home defeat was a heavy 3-0 loss to Charlotte FC, highlighting potential defensive vulnerabilities. Interestingly, DC United have been involved in several high-scoring encounters, with 67% of their recent home matches featuring over 2.5 goals. Despite this, they've managed only one clean sheet in their last six home games, conceding an average of 1.5 goals per game. Their attacking output has been modest, scoring 1.17 goals per game, which partly explains their mid-table position in the league.
