DC United vs FC Cincinnati

Current streaks

Recent form

DC United

DC United's recent form presents a concerning picture for the club. The team are currently on a three-match losing streak, with their last victory coming against Sporting Kansas City on 9th March. Their defensive record is particularly worrying, having conceded a staggering 15 goals in their last six matches, averaging 2.5 goals conceded per game. This vulnerability was most evident in their recent 6-1 thrashing by San Jose Earthquakes, the highest-scoring game in this run. On a more positive note, DC United have managed to score in five of their last six matches, but their goal difference of -8 reflects their struggles to outscore opponents. The team's tendency for high-scoring affairs is clear, with 83% of their recent matches seeing over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring. Despite these defensive frailties, DC United did manage one clean sheet in a goalless draw against CF Montréal, offering a glimmer of hope for improvement.

FC Cincinnati

FC Cincinnati have shown mixed form in their recent fixtures, with a notable improvement in their last two matches. The team are currently on a two-game winning streak in Major League Soccer, which has helped them climb to 5th position in the league table. Despite their inconsistent results, Cincinnati have maintained a balanced goal difference, scoring and conceding an average of 1.33 goals per game over their last six matches. Interestingly, half of their recent games have seen both teams score, while the split between high-scoring (over 2.5 goals) and low-scoring (under 2.5 goals) matches is even at 50%. The team's defensive performance has been noteworthy, with two clean sheets in their last six outings. However, their heaviest defeat came in the CONCACAF Champions League, where they conceded three goals against Tigres UANL.

Recent home/away form

DC United

In their last six home matches, they have managed only one victory, against Sporting Kansas City, while drawing three and losing two. Notably, the team has been involved in several high-scoring encounters, with 67% of their games seeing over 2.5 goals. DC United have found it particularly challenging to keep clean sheets, managing only one in their last six home fixtures. Their most recent home match resulted in a 2-1 defeat to Columbus Crew, continuing a concerning trend of conceding goals at home. The team's defensive frailties are evident in their goals conceded per game average of 1.5, which has contributed to their negative goal difference of -3 over this period.

However, they have been relatively prolific in attack, scoring 1.67 goals per game on average. Their away matches have been high-scoring affairs, with 83% of games seeing over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring. Notably, Cincinnati experienced a three-game losing streak in March, including a heavy 4-1 defeat to Philadelphia Union. On a more positive note, they secured an impressive 4-1 victory against CD Motagua in the CONCACAF Champions League, demonstrating their potential for high-scoring performances away from home.
