San Jose Earthquakes vs DC United

Current streaks

Recent form

San Jose Earthquakes

San Jose Earthquakes have experienced a mixed run of form in their recent matches, currently sitting 10th in the league table with 7 points from 6 games. The Earthquakes began their last six-game stretch impressively with two consecutive wins, including a notable 4-0 thrashing of Real Salt Lake. However, their form took a downturn as they suffered a three-match losing streak, conceding in each of those games. Their most recent outing saw them halt this negative run with a 1-1 draw against Seattle Sounders. The Earthquakes' attacking prowess is evident, having scored 9 goals in 6 matches, but their defence has been equally porous, conceding the same number. Their matches tend to be high-scoring affairs, with 67% of their games seeing over 2.5 goals. Despite these defensive frailties, highlighted by their failure to keep a clean sheet in their last 5 matches, San Jose have managed to maintain a balanced goal difference, suggesting they remain competitive despite their recent struggles.

DC United

DC United's recent form has been a mixed bag, with the team currently sitting in 12th position in the league table. The Black-and-Red have struggled to find consistency, managing only one win in their last six matches, alongside three draws and two losses. Defensively, DC United have been leaking goals, conceding an average of 1.83 per game, which has contributed to their negative goal difference of -3. The team's matches have been high-scoring affairs, with 83% of their games seeing over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring. A particularly concerning result was their recent 4-1 defeat away to Orlando City, highlighting their defensive frailties. On a more positive note, DC United have shown resilience in securing three draws and have managed to keep one clean sheet during this period, suggesting there is potential for improvement if they can tighten up at the back.

Recent home/away form

San Jose Earthquakes

San Jose Earthquakes have been struggling at home recently, with only one win in their last six matches at the Earthquakes Stadium. The Quakes are currently experiencing a poor run of form, having lost three consecutive home games before their most recent draw against Seattle Sounders. Their sole victory came in a high-scoring affair against Real Salt Lake, where they impressively won 4-0, showcasing their potential attacking prowess. However, this result stands out as an anomaly, with the team failing to score in three of their six recent home matches. Defensively, the Earthquakes have been relatively consistent, conceding an average of one goal per game, but their inability to find the back of the net has cost them dearly. The majority of their home games (67%) have seen under 2.5 goals, indicating a trend towards low-scoring encounters at the Earthquakes Stadium.

DC United

DC United's recent away form presents a mixed picture, with the team displaying inconsistency in their performances. They have managed 2 wins, 2 draws, and 2 losses in their last 6 away matches, showcasing a lack of consistency. Notably, their defence has been porous, conceding an average of 2.17 goals per game and failing to keep a clean sheet in any of these fixtures. The team's attacking prowess has been somewhat better, scoring 1.67 goals per game on average. Both teams have scored in all of these matches, contributing to a high-scoring trend with 83% of the games seeing over 2.5 goals. Two particularly high-scoring encounters stand out: a 4-1 defeat to Orlando City in their most recent away match and a 4-1 loss to Nashville SC in a friendly. These statistics suggest that DC United's away matches tend to be eventful affairs, with plenty of goals at both ends of the pitch.
