Austin FC vs Vancouver Whitecaps

Current streaks

Recent form

Austin FC

Austin FC's recent form has been mixed, with the team struggling to find consistency. Despite sitting in 8th position in the league, their last six matches have yielded only two wins, one draw, and three losses. The team's defensive record is particularly concerning, having conceded 10 goals in their last six games and keeping only one clean sheet in that period. Their most recent clean sheet was five matches ago, highlighting their defensive vulnerabilities. On a positive note, Austin FC have shown some resilience in cup competitions, edging out El Paso Locomotive in a high-scoring 3-2 victory in the US Open Cup. However, their league form has been underwhelming, with a heavy 3-0 defeat to Minnesota United standing out as a particularly poor result. The team's goal-scoring record has been modest, averaging just one goal per game in their last six matches, which suggests they may need to improve their attacking output to climb the league table.

Vancouver Whitecaps

The Vancouver Whitecaps are currently in impressive form, sitting atop the league table with 27 points from 12 games. They are unbeaten in their last 11 matches, a remarkable streak that includes a run of four consecutive victories before their most recent draw. The Whitecaps have been particularly prolific in front of goal, scoring 12 times in their last six games, with an average of 2 goals per match. Their defensive record is equally noteworthy, conceding just 0.83 goals per game over this period. The team has been involved in several high-scoring encounters, with 67% of their recent matches seeing over 2.5 goals. Particularly impressive was their 3-1 away victory against Inter Miami in the CONCACAF Champions League, showcasing their ability to perform on both domestic and international stages. The Whitecaps' current form suggests they are a force to be reckoned with in Major League Soccer this season.

Recent home/away form

Austin FC

Austin FC have shown mixed form at home in their recent fixtures, with two wins, two draws, and one loss in their last five home matches. The team have managed to keep two clean sheets during this period, demonstrating some defensive strength. Interestingly, their goal-scoring record has been inconsistent, with a high-scoring 3-2 victory against El Paso Locomotive in the US Open Cup contrasting with two goalless performances. Austin FC's home form mirrors their overall recent form, which includes three wins, two draws, and one loss in their last six matches. The team have struggled to find consistency in front of goal, averaging just 1.17 goals per game, whilst conceding at the same rate. Their total goals average of 2.33 per game suggests that matches at the Q2 Stadium have been relatively entertaining affairs, with an even split between high and low-scoring encounters.

Vancouver Whitecaps

The Vancouver Whitecaps have shown impressive form away from home, remaining unbeaten in their last six matches with three wins and three draws. Their defensive prowess is particularly noteworthy, having conceded only four goals in these six games and keeping three clean sheets. The Whitecaps have also demonstrated their attacking capabilities, scoring nine goals in total, with two particularly high-scoring games against Inter Miami and Minnesota United, both ending in 3-1 victories. Their recent performances have contributed to their strong league position, sitting atop the table with 27 points from 12 games.
