Recent form

Nashville SC

Nashville SC have shown impressive form in their recent matches, with a notable three-game winning streak in Major League Soccer. The team have demonstrated a solid defensive record, keeping three clean sheets in their last six games and conceding an average of just 0.83 goals per game. Their attack has also been potent, scoring nine goals in six matches, with a particularly high-scoring game against Philadelphia Union where they netted three away from home. Despite a couple of setbacks, including a loss to New York Red Bulls and a friendly defeat to Austin FC, Nashville SC have bounced back strongly to secure fourth position in the league table with 10 points from five games. Their ability to score consistently whilst maintaining a tight defence has been key to their recent success, with 50% of their matches seeing over 2.5 goals.

FC Cincinnati

FC Cincinnati have experienced a mixed run of form recently, with their last six matches yielding just one win, two draws, and three losses. The team's defensive struggles are evident, having conceded 12 goals in these fixtures, with a particularly heavy 4-1 defeat against Philadelphia Union. Their goal difference of -5 underscores their current challenges, although they have managed to score in two-thirds of their recent matches. Cincinnati's sole clean sheet came in a 2-0 victory over Toronto FC, offering a glimpse of their potential when their defence is solid. The team's position of 10th in the league table reflects their inconsistent performances, with their matches evenly split between high-scoring affairs and tighter contests, as shown by the 50% split between games over and under 2.5 goals.

Recent home/away form

Nashville SC

Nashville SC have been in impressive form at home, remaining unbeaten in their last six matches with four wins and two draws. The team have been particularly solid defensively, keeping five clean sheets during this run and conceding only one goal across all six games. Their attacking prowess has also been noteworthy, with a standout performance in their 4-1 victory over DC United in a friendly match. Nashville SC are currently enjoying a three-match winning streak at home in competitive fixtures, outscoring their opponents 9-0 in that span. Their goal-scoring average of 2 goals per game, coupled with their miserly defence conceding just 0.17 goals per game, demonstrates a well-balanced side that are formidable on their own turf.

FC Cincinnati

FC Cincinnati's recent away form has been concerning, with the team currently on a three-match losing streak in all competitions. Their defensive struggles are particularly noteworthy, having conceded 15 goals in their last six away matches, an average of 2.5 per game, and failing to keep a single clean sheet during this period. Despite these defensive woes, Cincinnati have managed to find the back of the net consistently, scoring in five out of six matches. The team's games tend to be high-scoring affairs, with 83% of their recent away matches featuring over 2.5 goals. Their most impressive result came in a 4-1 victory against CD Motagua in the CONCACAF Champions League, showcasing their potential for attacking prowess. However, heavy defeats to Philadelphia Union (4-1) and Tigres UANL (3-1) highlight the team's vulnerabilities on the road.
