New York City FC vs New York Red Bulls

Current streaks

Recent form

New York City FC

New York City FC have been experiencing a mixed run of form recently, finding themselves in 10th position in the league with 17 points from 12 games. Their last six matches have been characterised by low-scoring affairs, with all games seeing under 2.5 goals and neither team managing to score in any match. The team's defensive record has been relatively solid, keeping three clean sheets in this period, but their attacking output has been a concern, scoring only two goals across these six games. NYCFC have alternated between wins and losses in their last four league matches, failing to string together consecutive positive results. Their recent US Open Cup exit to lower-league Pittsburgh Riverhounds adds to their struggles, highlighting the team's current inconsistency and goalscoring woes.

New York Red Bulls

The New York Red Bulls have shown inconsistent form in their recent matches, with their last six games alternating between wins and losses. Despite this volatility, they have managed to secure a respectable 7th position in the league table. Their attacking prowess is evident, having scored an impressive 15 goals in their last six matches, averaging 2.5 goals per game. Notably, the Red Bulls thrashed LA Galaxy 7-0 in their most recent home match, showcasing their potential for high-scoring performances. Defensively, they have been somewhat porous, conceding 1.5 goals per game on average. The team's matches have been high-scoring affairs, with 83% of their recent games seeing over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring in two-thirds of the encounters. While the Red Bulls have secured two clean sheets, their inability to string together consecutive wins suggests room for improvement in consistency.

Recent home/away form

New York City FC

New York City FC have shown mixed form at home recently, with a run of three consecutive victories followed by a loss in their most recent match. The team have been relatively solid defensively, conceding just five goals in their last six home games, with two clean sheets. However, their attacking output has been modest, averaging only 1.17 goals per game. Interestingly, half of their recent home matches have seen both teams score, and there's an even split between games going over and under 2.5 goals. While there haven't been any particularly high-scoring affairs, NYCFC have managed to secure narrow victories in most of their recent home wins, suggesting they've been effective at grinding out results in front of their own supporters.

New York Red Bulls

The New York Red Bulls have struggled to find consistent form away from home, with their recent record showing only one win in their last six away matches. This victory came in the US Open Cup against Colorado Springs, where they notably scored four goals, marking their highest-scoring game in this period. The Red Bulls have been involved in some high-scoring affairs, particularly their 4-1 defeat to Inter Miami, contributing to their average of 2.67 total goals per game. Defensively, they've managed two clean sheets in their last six away games, both resulting in goalless draws against Orlando City and Atlanta United. However, they've also conceded nine goals in this stretch, averaging 1.5 goals conceded per game. The team's tendency for goals is further evidenced by the fact that 67% of their away games have seen both teams score and over 2.5 goals.
