Current streaks

Recent form

Houston Dynamo

Houston Dynamo's recent form presents a mixed picture, with the team struggling to find consistency in Major League Soccer. Currently sitting 14th in the league table with 10 points from 12 games, the Dynamo have shown flashes of potential amidst their inconsistent run. Their last six matches across all competitions have yielded two wins, two draws, and two losses, highlighting their unpredictable nature. The team's attacking prowess is evident, scoring an average of 1.67 goals per game, while their defence has been somewhat leaky, conceding 1.5 goals per match. A notable high-scoring game was their recent 4-1 victory over Phoenix Rising in the US Open Cup, showcasing their offensive capabilities. However, their league form remains a concern, with their most recent MLS match resulting in a 3-1 home defeat to Seattle Sounders, underscoring the challenges they face in climbing up the table.

Minnesota United

Minnesota United have shown impressive form in recent weeks, currently sitting in 2nd position in the league with 22 points from 12 games. The Loons are on a three-match winning streak across all competitions, including a convincing 4-1 victory over Inter Miami in their latest Major League Soccer fixture. This high-scoring encounter stands out as particularly noteworthy. Their defensive prowess is evident, having kept four clean sheets in their last six matches and conceding just 0.67 goals per game during this period. The team's goal difference of +5 and their ability to score 1.5 goals per game on average demonstrate a well-balanced side. Interestingly, Minnesota United have been involved in an equal split of matches going over and under 2.5 goals, suggesting they can adapt to different game scenarios. Their recent form represents a significant improvement from the two draws and one loss that preceded their current winning run.

Recent home/away form

Houston Dynamo

Houston Dynamo's recent home form has been a mixed bag, with their last six matches yielding two wins, one draw, and three losses. The team have struggled defensively, conceding an average of 1.83 goals per game, which has contributed to their negative goal difference. However, their matches have been high-scoring affairs, with 67% of games seeing over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring in two-thirds of the fixtures. The Dynamo's most notable result was a heavy 4-1 defeat to Inter Miami, while their best performance came in a 2-0 victory over Austin FC. Despite their inconsistent form, Houston have managed to keep two clean sheets in this period, showing glimpses of defensive solidity amidst their overall struggles.

Minnesota United

Minnesota United have been in impressive form away from home, currently enjoying an unbeaten run of six matches on the road. The Loons have secured four victories and two draws in their last six away games, demonstrating their resilience and ability to perform well in hostile environments. Notably, they have kept four clean sheets during this period, showcasing their solid defensive prowess. Their attacking capabilities have also been on display, with a particularly high-scoring match against Sporting Kansas City ending in a thrilling 3-3 draw. Minnesota United's goal-scoring average of 1.67 goals per game away from home is commendable, while their defensive record of conceding only 0.67 goals per game is equally impressive. This strong away form has undoubtedly contributed to their current second-place position in the league, with 22 points from 12 games.
