New York City FC have shown mixed form in their recent matches, with a notable improvement in their last two league games. The team are currently on a two-match winning streak in Major League Soccer, having defeated Chicago Fire and New York Red Bulls without conceding a goal. Despite their mid-table position, NYCFC have displayed defensive solidity, keeping three clean sheets in their last six matches across all competitions. Their goal-scoring output has been modest, averaging just one goal per game in this period. Interestingly, 83% of their recent matches have seen under 2.5 goals, suggesting a trend towards low-scoring affairs. The team's cup exit to Pittsburgh Riverhounds in the US Open Cup stands out as a disappointing result amidst their league performances.

Houston Dynamo

Houston Dynamo have shown mixed form in their recent fixtures, with their last six games yielding three wins, one draw, and two losses. The team have been involved in some high-scoring encounters, particularly their 4-1 victory over Phoenix Rising in the US Open Cup and their most recent 3-3 draw against San Jose Earthquakes in the MLS. Notably, Houston Dynamo have been prolific in front of goal, scoring an impressive 13 goals in their last six matches at an average of 2.17 goals per game. However, their defence has been somewhat leaky, conceding 10 goals in the same period. The team's ability to find the net is further emphasised by the fact that 67% of their recent games have seen both teams score, and 67% have featured over 2.5 goals. Despite their current 10th position in the league table, Houston Dynamo's attacking prowess and tendency for high-scoring matches make them an exciting team to watch.
