Current streaks

Charlotte FC

Charlotte FC have experienced a turbulent run of form recently, with their last six matches yielding two wins and four losses. Despite sitting in a respectable 6th position in the league table, the team are currently enduring a five-game winless streak in Major League Soccer. Their attacking prowess remains evident, with an impressive average of 1.83 goals scored per game, but defensive frailties are equally apparent as they concede at the same rate. The matches have been notably high-scoring affairs, with 83% of their recent games surpassing 2.5 goals. A standout performance came in their US Open Cup victory against North Carolina, where they netted four goals. However, their most recent league outings have seen them concede three goals to Orlando City and four to Columbus Crew, highlighting the need for defensive improvements if they aim to maintain their position in the upper echelons of the table.

Chicago Fire

Chicago Fire's recent form has been a mixed bag, with the team showing signs of improvement in their last two matches. The Fire have won their last two games, including a comfortable 4-0 victory over Detroit City in the US Open Cup. However, their league form has been inconsistent, as evidenced by their 11th position in the table. A particularly concerning result was the 7-2 thrashing by Nashville SC, which significantly impacted their goal difference. The Fire have been involved in several high-scoring affairs, with 67% of their last six matches featuring over 2.5 goals. Despite conceding 11 goals in their last six games, they've managed to keep three clean sheets, highlighting their defensive inconsistency. The team's ability to score has been steady, averaging 1.67 goals per game, but their defensive vulnerabilities have led to a negative goal difference.

Chicago Fire

The Fire have shown impressive scoring prowess, netting at least twice in all six of their recent away fixtures, resulting in a commendable average of 2.17 goals per game. However, their defensive frailties are evident, conceding a concerning 2.67 goals per match and failing to keep a single clean sheet. Notably, the Fire enjoyed a three-game winning streak on the road, defeating FC Dallas, Toronto FC, and Vancouver Whitecaps in succession. Their most recent away match against Nashville SC was particularly remarkable, albeit for the wrong reasons, as they suffered a heavy 7-2 defeat in a high-scoring encounter. This inconsistency is reflected in their league position, sitting 11th with 16 points from 12 games. Intriguingly, all of Chicago Fire's recent away matches have been goal-fests, with over 2.5 goals scored in 100% of these games and both teams finding the net in every fixture.
