Current streaks

Recent form

FC Cincinnati

FC Cincinnati have shown mixed form in their recent matches, maintaining a respectable second position in the league despite a rollercoaster of results. Their last six games have yielded two wins, two draws, and two losses, demonstrating inconsistency. The team's defensive record has been a concern, conceding 10 goals in six matches, with only one clean sheet. However, their attacking prowess has kept them competitive, scoring 9 goals in the same period. The recent 3-3 draw against FC Dallas and the 4-2 loss to Atlanta United stand out as high-scoring affairs, contributing to the impressive total goals average of 3.17 per game. Interestingly, both teams have scored in 67% of these matches, suggesting exciting, open contests. While FC Cincinnati haven't managed to string together a significant run of wins or losses, their ability to bounce back from defeats with positive results has been crucial in maintaining their lofty league position.

DC United

DC United have been struggling to find their form in recent matches, with their current winless streak extending to seven games. The team's last six matches have been particularly underwhelming, featuring four draws and two losses. Their goal-scoring has been a significant concern, with only four goals netted in the past six games, averaging a mere 0.67 goals per match. Defensively, they've shown some resilience, managing two clean sheets, but have still conceded eight goals in this period. The recent 3-3 draw against Charlotte FC in the US Open Cup stands out as a high-scoring anomaly, with five of their last six matches seeing under 2.5 goals. DC United's inability to secure victories has seen them slip to 13th position in the league table, highlighting the urgent need for improvement in their attacking output and overall performance.

Recent home/away form

FC Cincinnati

FC Cincinnati have been in impressive form at home, remaining unbeaten in their last six matches at their own ground. The team are currently enjoying a three-match winning streak at home, which began with a 1-0 victory over New England Revolution and continued with wins against Sporting Kansas City and Austin FC. Cincinnati have been particularly prolific in front of goal, scoring at least two goals in five of their last six home games, with their most recent match against FC Dallas ending in a high-scoring 3-3 draw. Defensively, they've also shown strength, keeping two clean sheets during this period. The team's attacking prowess is evident in their average of 2 goals scored per game, while their overall goal difference of +5 highlights their dominance at home. With 67% of their matches seeing both teams score and the same percentage featuring over 2.5 goals, FC Cincinnati's home fixtures have been providing plenty of entertainment for their supporters.

DC United

DC United's recent away form has been particularly poor, with the team struggling to find consistency on the road. The Black-and-Red have managed just one win in their last six away matches, suffering four defeats and securing one draw. Their defensive frailties have been starkly evident, conceding a whopping 16 goals in these six games, including two particularly heavy defeats: a 6-1 thrashing by San Jose Earthquakes and a 4-1 loss to Orlando City. DC United's goal-scoring has also been a concern, netting only four times in these six away fixtures. However, they did manage to keep a clean sheet in their most recent away game, a goalless draw against Nashville SC, which might offer a glimmer of hope. The team's away performances have contributed significantly to their current 13th position in the league, with an alarming goal difference of -12 from these six matches alone.
