DC United vs Colorado Rapids

Current streaks

Recent form

DC United

DC United are experiencing a poor run of form, having lost five of their last six matches, including a current streak of four consecutive defeats. Their defensive woes are particularly evident, as they have conceded a staggering 17 goals in these six games, averaging 2.83 goals conceded per match. The team's inability to keep a clean sheet in their last six outings is also concerning. A particularly alarming result was their 6-1 thrashing at the hands of San Jose Earthquakes, highlighting their defensive vulnerabilities. On the offensive front, DC United have struggled to find the back of the net, scoring only five goals in six games, with a meagre average of 0.83 goals per match. Despite these challenges, their matches have been high-scoring affairs, with 83% of their games featuring over 2.5 goals, suggesting exciting, albeit defensively fraught, encounters for spectators.

Colorado Rapids

The Colorado Rapids have shown mixed form in their recent matches, currently sitting in 5th position with 16 points from 10 games. Their last six games have been a rollercoaster, alternating between wins, losses, and draws, with no consistent run of results. The Rapids have struggled defensively, conceding 10 goals in their last six matches, averaging 1.67 goals conceded per game. However, they've managed to find the back of the net consistently, scoring in five out of their last six matches. The most notable game in this stretch was their 3-2 victory over San Diego, which was also their highest-scoring match. Despite their defensive woes, the Rapids have shown resilience, bouncing back from losses with wins or draws in their subsequent matches. Their goal difference of -2 and the fact that both teams have scored in 50% of these games suggest that the Rapids have been involved in closely contested, evenly matched encounters.

Recent home/away form

DC United

DC United's recent home form has been rather mixed, with the team struggling to find consistency at their own ground. In their last six home matches, they have managed only one victory, against Sporting Kansas City, while suffering two losses in their most recent outings. The team have drawn three times, showing a tendency to share the spoils. Defensively, DC United have kept only one clean sheet in this period, conceding an average of 1.17 goals per game. Their attacking output has been modest, scoring just one goal per match on average. Interestingly, both teams have scored in two-thirds of these games, suggesting that while DC United have been finding the net, they've also been vulnerable at the back. The total goals average of 2.17 per match indicates that their home games have been relatively low-scoring affairs, with an even split between matches going over and under 2.5 goals.

Colorado Rapids

The Colorado Rapids have shown mixed form in their recent away fixtures, with a balanced record of two wins, two draws, and two losses in their last six matches on the road. Their defensive performance has been noteworthy, keeping two clean sheets and conceding an average of just one goal per game. However, their attacking output has been somewhat lacklustre, scoring only 0.83 goals per game on average. The majority of their away matches (67%) have been low-scoring affairs, with fewer than 2.5 goals. Their most recent away match, a 2-2 draw against Houston Dynamo, stands out as the highest-scoring game in this run. Interestingly, the Rapids managed to secure back-to-back away victories against San Jose Earthquakes and Austin FC in March, demonstrating their ability to perform well on the road when in form.
