Atlanta United 4-2 FC Cincinnati

Current streaks

Recent form

Atlanta United

Atlanta United are enduring a difficult run of form, having failed to secure a victory in their last eight matches. The team's recent performances have been particularly concerning, with four losses in their last six games, including a current streak of three matches without a win. Their defensive frailties have been exposed, conceding 11 goals in the past six fixtures and failing to keep a clean sheet in their last 11 outings. Notably, Atlanta have suffered two heavy 3-0 defeats against Philadelphia Union and Orlando City, highlighting their struggles at both ends of the pitch. The team's goal-scoring woes are evident, with a meagre average of 0.5 goals per game in their last six matches, while conceding at a rate of 1.83 goals per game. This poor run of form has seen Atlanta United slip to 14th position in the league table, with just 11 points from 14 games, leaving them in a precarious position as they seek to turn their fortunes around.

FC Cincinnati

FC Cincinnati have been in impressive form recently, sitting second in the league with 29 points from 14 games. The team have shown resilience and consistency, winning four of their last six matches, including a run of three consecutive victories before their most recent draw against Columbus Crew. Their attacking prowess is evident, having scored nine goals in their last six games, with a particularly high-scoring encounter against Chicago Fire ending in a 3-2 away win. Defensively, they've been relatively solid, conceding only six goals during this period and keeping one clean sheet. The club's ability to win close matches is noteworthy, with three of their four recent victories coming by a single-goal margin. Their current form suggests they are strong contenders in the league, with a balanced approach that sees them involved in an equal split of high and low-scoring affairs.

Recent home/away form

Atlanta United

Atlanta United's recent home form has been rather disappointing, with the club failing to secure a victory in their last four matches at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. The Five Stripes have managed just one win in their previous six home games, drawing twice and suffering three defeats. Their sole victory came in a thrilling 4-3 encounter against New York City FC, which stands out as the highest-scoring match in this run. Despite their struggles, Atlanta have been involved in some closely contested affairs, with four of the six matches decided by a single goal or ending in a draw. The team's defensive frailties are evident, as they have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of these games, conceding an average of 1.5 goals per match. However, their ability to find the back of the net has also waned, with the side failing to score in two of their last three home fixtures.

FC Cincinnati

FC Cincinnati have been in impressive form away from home, securing four wins, one draw, and suffering only one defeat in their last six away matches. The team has demonstrated resilience and consistency on the road, with a notable run of three consecutive away victories against Nashville SC, DC United, and Chicago Fire. Their most recent away fixture ended in a 1-1 draw against Columbus Crew, maintaining their unbeaten streak. Cincinnati have been solid defensively, conceding an average of less than one goal per game (0.83) and keeping two clean sheets in these six matches. Although there weren't any particularly high-scoring games, their 3-2 victory against Chicago Fire was their highest-scoring away match in this period. The team's attacking prowess is evident, with an average of 1.33 goals scored per game, contributing to their strong position in the league table, currently sitting second with 29 points from 14 games.
