Recent form
DC United
DC United have shown mixed form in their recent outings, with a balanced record of two wins, two draws, and two losses in their last six matches. The team have struggled to find the back of the net, scoring only four goals in this period, averaging a meagre 0.67 goals per game. However, their defence has shown some resilience, keeping three clean sheets in their last six matches, including two consecutive goalless draws in their most recent fixtures against Nashville SC and New York City FC. The team's goal difference of -2 reflects their defensive improvements, although their attacking prowess remains a concern. Notably, 67% of their recent matches have seen under 2.5 goals, highlighting a trend towards low-scoring encounters. Their current 12th position in the league table with 14 points from 14 games suggests DC United have room for improvement as they look to climb the standings.
New York Red Bulls
The New York Red Bulls have shown inconsistent form in their recent matches, with their last six games yielding an even split of three wins and three losses. Despite their mid-table position, the Red Bulls have been involved in some high-scoring affairs, most notably a remarkable 7-0 thrashing of LA Galaxy. This result significantly boosted their goals scored tally, contributing to an impressive average of 2.33 goals per game. However, their defence has been somewhat leaky, conceding 1.5 goals per game on average. The team's matches have been entertaining for neutrals, with 67% of their last six games featuring over 2.5 goals and an average of 3.83 total goals per match. Interestingly, the Red Bulls have managed two clean sheets during this period, but are currently on a two-game losing streak in the league, suggesting a dip in form that they'll be keen to reverse.

Recent home/away form
DC United
DC United's recent home form has been a mixed bag, with the team showing signs of improvement after a challenging period. The Black-and-Red have managed to secure two wins, two draws, and two losses in their last six home matches, demonstrating a resilient defence with three clean sheets and conceding only 0.67 goals per game. Notably, their home matches have been relatively low-scoring affairs, with 67% of games featuring under 2.5 goals and both teams scoring in only a third of the fixtures. DC United's attack has been somewhat muted, averaging just 0.83 goals per game, but they've shown flashes of potential with back-to-back wins against Colorado Rapids and Charleston Battery. While there haven't been any particularly high-scoring encounters, the team's ability to grind out results and maintain a positive goal difference suggests they're becoming tougher to beat at home.
New York Red Bulls
The New York Red Bulls have been struggling in their recent away fixtures, with a concerning run of three consecutive defeats in their last three road games in Major League Soccer. Their away form has been particularly poor, with only one win in their last six matches across all competitions. That sole victory came in an impressive 4-1 thrashing of Colorado Springs in the US Open Cup, which stands out as their highest-scoring away game in this period. Defensively, the Red Bulls have been vulnerable, conceding an average of 1.83 goals per game and keeping just one clean sheet in their last six away matches. The team's goal difference of -4 and their tendency to be involved in high-scoring affairs (67% of games seeing over 2.5 goals) suggest that while they are capable of finding the net, their defensive frailties are costing them points on the road.
