Current streaks

Recent form

Orlando City

Orlando City have shown mixed form in their recent outings, with three wins, one draw, and two losses in their last six matches. Despite their inconsistency, they have maintained an impressive attacking record, scoring 14 goals in these games, averaging 2.33 goals per match. The team's defensive performance has been less solid, conceding 10 goals, resulting in a positive goal difference of 4. Notably, Orlando City have been involved in several high-scoring affairs, with 83% of their recent matches seeing over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring in 67% of the games. Their most recent fixture, a 3-2 loss to Atlanta United, exemplifies this trend of exciting, goal-filled encounters. While they haven't managed a significant winning streak, Orlando City's fourth-place position in the league table with 27 points from 15 games suggests they are still performing well overall in the Major League Soccer competition.

Chicago Fire

Chicago Fire have shown impressive form in their recent matches, with a notable run of four consecutive wins across all competitions before their most recent league defeat. Their attacking prowess has been particularly evident, scoring 14 goals in their last six games, averaging an impressive 2.33 goals per match. The Fire have been involved in several high-scoring encounters, with 83% of their recent matches featuring over 2.5 goals. Their 4-1 victory over Charlotte FC and 4-0 thrashing of Detroit City in the US Open Cup stand out as particularly emphatic results. Despite their current 11th position in the league table, Chicago's recent form suggests they are a team on the rise, with their ability to both score freely and keep clean sheets (two in the last six matches) indicating a well-balanced side. However, their most recent league defeat to New York City FC may have halted their momentum, and it will be interesting to see how they respond in upcoming fixtures.

Recent home/away form

Orlando City

Orlando City have shown strong form at home, remaining unbeaten in their last four Major League Soccer matches at their own ground. The Lions have displayed impressive attacking prowess, scoring three goals in three of their last five home games across all competitions. Notably, they've kept clean sheets in two of their last three league matches at home, including a convincing 3-0 victory over Atlanta United. Their most recent home fixture saw them edge out Portland Timbers 1-0, demonstrating their ability to grind out results. The high-scoring 3-3 draw against New England Revolution stands out as a particularly entertaining encounter. Despite a slight setback in the US Open Cup, losing 3-2 to Nashville SC, Orlando City's overall home form in the league has been robust, contributing significantly to their current 4th position in the table.

Chicago Fire

Chicago Fire's recent away form has been a rollercoaster of highs and lows, with the team displaying both offensive prowess and defensive vulnerabilities. The Fire have been involved in a series of high-scoring affairs, with all six of their recent away matches seeing over 2.5 goals and both teams finding the net. Their goal-scoring ability is evident, averaging an impressive 2.33 goals per game, but their defence has been leaky, conceding 2.5 goals per match. Notably, the Fire suffered a heavy 7-2 defeat against Nashville SC, which significantly impacted their goal difference. However, they bounced back with a resounding 4-1 victory over Charlotte FC, showcasing their attacking potential. The team's inconsistency is reflected in their alternating pattern of wins and losses, preventing them from establishing a clear run of form in either direction.
