Chicago Fire vs Orlando City

Current streaks

Recent form

Chicago Fire

Chicago Fire's recent form has been concerning, with the team failing to secure a victory in their last five matches. Their sole win in the past six games came against Vancouver Whitecaps, where they impressively scored three away goals. The Fire's defensive frailties have been particularly evident, conceding a staggering 14 goals in six matches, including a 7-2 thrashing by Nashville SC in their most recent outing. This high-scoring affair significantly contributed to the team's average of 3.83 total goals per game. Despite their struggles, Chicago have managed to find the back of the net consistently, with both teams scoring in 83% of these matches. However, their negative goal difference of -5 and the fact that they've kept only one clean sheet in six games highlight the need for defensive improvements if they hope to climb from their current 11th position in the league table.

Orlando City

Orlando City are currently enjoying a solid run of form, having gone unbeaten in their last six matches with three wins and three draws. The team's defensive prowess is particularly noteworthy, with four clean sheets in their last six games and only two goals conceded during this period, resulting in an impressive 0.33 goals conceded per game. Their most recent match against Atlanta United was a convincing 3-0 victory, showcasing their offensive capabilities. Orlando City have also demonstrated their ability to score freely, netting four goals in their 4-1 win over DC United. The team's current streak of seven games without a defeat is a testament to their resilience and consistency. However, the three consecutive draws in the middle of this run suggest that while Orlando City are difficult to beat, they may sometimes struggle to turn draws into wins.

Recent home/away form

Chicago Fire

Chicago Fire's recent home form has been rather inconsistent, with the club struggling to secure victories at their own ground. The Fire have managed just one win in their last six home matches, drawing three and losing two. Notably, they are currently on a run of three consecutive draws in Major League Soccer fixtures at home, highlighting their difficulty in closing out games. The standout result amongst these matches was undoubtedly the 5-1 thrashing of San Jose Earthquakes in a friendly, showcasing their potential for high-scoring performances. However, this attacking prowess hasn't consistently translated to their league games, with the Fire failing to score in two of their last six home matches. Despite their mixed form, Chicago Fire have been involved in some entertaining contests, with both teams scoring in 67% of these games and an even split between matches going over and under 2.5 goals.

Orlando City

Orlando City have shown resilient form away from home, remaining unbeaten in their last five road matches. The Lions have drawn four of their last six away games, demonstrating a knack for splitting points on their travels. Notably, their only victory in this stretch came against LA Galaxy, whilst their sole defeat was at the hands of New York City FC. Orlando City have been consistent in both attack and defence, scoring and conceding an average of 1.17 goals per game. The team's ability to find the net is evident, with both teams scoring in 67% of these matches. Interestingly, despite the prevalence of goals, Orlando City have managed to keep two clean sheets in their last six away fixtures. Their recent away form has contributed to their solid league position, currently sitting 7th with 16 points from 10 games.
