Philadelphia Union vs DC United

Current streaks

Recent form

Philadelphia Union

Philadelphia Union's recent form has been inconsistent, with their last six matches yielding two wins, one draw, and three losses. The team have shown resilience at home, securing a convincing 3-0 victory against Atlanta United in their most recent fixture, which also marked their highest-scoring game in this period. Defensively, the Union have been solid, keeping three clean sheets in their last six matches, including two in their last four. However, their away form has been a concern, with two losses in their last two road games. The team's goal difference stands at zero, having scored and conceded six goals each over the six-game stretch, highlighting a balance between their offensive output and defensive vulnerabilities. Interestingly, only 33% of their matches have seen both teams score, suggesting that when Philadelphia Union play, one team often fails to find the back of the net.

DC United

DC United's recent form has been concerning, with the team experiencing a significant dip in performance. They are currently on a four-match losing streak, which was only broken by their most recent victory against the New York Red Bulls. The team's defensive woes are particularly evident, having conceded a staggering 14 goals in their last six matches, including a 6-1 thrashing by San Jose Earthquakes. Their goal-scoring has also been lacklustre, managing only 5 goals in the same period, with an average of less than one goal per game. Despite keeping a clean sheet against CF Montréal, DC United have struggled defensively since, going five games without one. The high-scoring nature of their matches is notable, with 67% of their games seeing over 2.5 goals. This combination of poor defensive form and exciting, high-scoring matches paints a picture of a team in transition, currently struggling to find their footing in the league.

Recent home/away form

Philadelphia Union

Philadelphia Union have shown mixed form at home recently, with three wins, one draw, and two losses in their last six matches at Subaru Park. The team have demonstrated their attacking prowess, scoring an impressive 10 goals in these fixtures, including a high-scoring 4-1 victory over FC Cincinnati. Defensively, they've been relatively solid, keeping three clean sheets and conceding only six goals. Interestingly, the Union have been involved in several high-scoring affairs, with 67% of their recent home games featuring over 2.5 goals. Despite the occasional setback, such as the 3-1 loss to Nashville SC, Philadelphia have managed to maintain a positive goal difference and currently sit in 5th position in the league, suggesting they remain a formidable force on their home turf.

DC United

DC United's recent away form has been a mixed bag, with some concerning defensive performances. The team have struggled to keep clean sheets, conceding in all of their last six away matches. Notably, there have been some high-scoring encounters, particularly the 6-1 drubbing by San Jose Earthquakes and a 4-1 loss to Orlando City. These results contribute to an alarming average of 3 goals conceded per game. On a more positive note, DC United have managed to score in every away match, with both teams finding the net in 100% of these games. The total goals average of 4.67 per match highlights the team's involvement in exciting, high-scoring affairs, with all six games seeing over 2.5 goals. Despite their defensive woes, DC United have shown some resilience, securing a win in their most recent away fixture against the New York Red Bulls, potentially signalling an upturn in their fortunes on the road.
