Recent form

Philadelphia Union

Philadelphia Union have shown impressive form recently, maintaining their position near the top of the table with 22 points from 11 games. The team are currently on a five-match unbeaten streak, which includes three consecutive wins against DC United, Atlanta United, and CF Montréal. Their defensive solidity is evident, conceding only 0.83 goals per game in their last six matches, whilst their attack has been potent, scoring an average of 1.83 goals per game. Notably, two-thirds of their recent matches have seen over 2.5 goals, indicating entertaining fixtures for spectators. The Union have also kept two clean sheets in this period, both resulting in convincing 3-0 victories against DC United and Atlanta United. Their most recent match, a 2-2 draw with Columbus Crew, suggests they continue to be competitive against strong opposition.

LA Galaxy

LA Galaxy are experiencing a dire run of form, finding themselves in 15th position with a meagre 3 points from 11 games. The team are currently on a concerning five-match losing streak across all competitions, with their last point coming from a draw against Houston Dynamo. Their defensive frailties are glaringly evident, having conceded a staggering 17 goals in their last six matches, including a 7-0 drubbing by New York Red Bulls in their most recent outing. This thrashing marks a particularly high-scoring game and underscores the Galaxy's defensive crisis. With no clean sheets in their last seven matches and an average of 2.83 goals conceded per game, LA Galaxy's backline is in desperate need of reinforcement. Their attacking prowess has also waned, managing just 0.83 goals per game in their last six matches. The Galaxy haven't tasted victory in 11 games, a worrying statistic that highlights the depth of their current slump.

Recent home/away form

Philadelphia Union

Philadelphia Union have been in impressive form at home, remaining unbeaten in their last six matches at Subaru Park. The team have displayed a strong defensive record, conceding only three goals in these fixtures and keeping four clean sheets. Notably, the Union have secured three victories and three draws, including back-to-back 3-0 wins against DC United and Atlanta United, showcasing their attacking prowess. Their goal-scoring average of 1.67 goals per game is commendable, whilst their defensive solidity is evident in their low 0.5 goals conceded per game. The Union's recent home performances have contributed significantly to their current second-place position in the league, amassing 22 points from 11 games. Interestingly, their matches have been evenly split between high and low-scoring affairs, with 50% of games going over 2.5 goals and 50% staying under.

LA Galaxy

LA Galaxy are enduring a torrid run of form away from home, having failed to win any of their last six matches on the road. The team are currently on a five-game losing streak away from home, with their last point on their travels coming in a 2-2 draw against Minnesota United. Galaxy's defence has been particularly leaky, conceding a staggering 16 goals in these six matches, including a humiliating 7-0 thrashing at the hands of New York Red Bulls in their most recent away fixture. This high-scoring affair stands out as a particularly poor performance for the Galaxy. The team have struggled to find the back of the net themselves, scoring just four goals in these six games, and have failed to keep a single clean sheet. With an average of 3.33 total goals per game in their away matches, Galaxy's fixtures have been eventful, if not successful for the struggling side.
