Recent form

Colorado Rapids

Colorado Rapids have experienced a mixed run of form in their recent matches, with a notable improvement in their last three games. After suffering three consecutive defeats, including a 2-0 loss to San Diego and a 2-1 defeat against DC United, the Rapids managed to turn things around with back-to-back 1-0 victories against Real Salt Lake and St. Louis CITY. However, their winning streak was halted by a 2-1 loss to Portland Timbers in their most recent fixture. Despite sitting 8th in the league table, the Rapids' defensive record has been a concern, conceding 8 goals in their last 6 matches whilst only scoring 4. Their goal-scoring average of 0.67 per game is particularly low, although they have managed to keep two clean sheets during this period. Interestingly, 67% of their recent matches have seen fewer than 2.5 goals, suggesting a trend towards low-scoring affairs.

Austin FC

Austin FC's recent form reveals a mixed bag of results, with the team struggling to find consistent winning form. They have managed just one victory in their last six matches, which came in the US Open Cup against Houston Dynamo. The club have been involved in a remarkable run of four consecutive draws in Major League Soccer, highlighting their ability to avoid defeat but also their difficulty in securing three points. Their most recent outing resulted in a 2-0 loss to San Diego, ending their unbeaten streak. Defensively, Austin FC have been relatively solid, conceding an average of one goal per game over the last six matches and keeping one clean sheet. However, their attacking output has been somewhat limited, also averaging just one goal per game. Interestingly, 83% of their recent matches have seen under 2.5 goals, suggesting a trend towards low-scoring affairs.

Recent home/away form

Colorado Rapids

The Colorado Rapids have been in impressive form at home recently, showcasing a strong defensive record with three clean sheets in their last six matches. They are currently on a two-game winning streak at home, having secured narrow 1-0 victories against both St. Louis CITY and Real Salt Lake. Despite a minor setback with a 2-0 loss to San Jose Earthquakes, the Rapids have been largely successful, winning four out of their last six home games. Their most exciting match during this period was a 3-2 thriller against San Diego, which stands out as the highest-scoring game. Interestingly, 83% of their recent home matches have seen under 2.5 goals, indicating a tendency towards low-scoring affairs. The Rapids have been particularly stingy in defence, conceding an average of just 0.83 goals per game, which has undoubtedly contributed to their solid 8th position in the league.

Austin FC

Austin FC's recent away form has been particularly poor, with the team currently on a four-match winless streak on the road. They have lost three consecutive away matches, conceding nine goals whilst scoring only two in that period. Their last away victory came against St. Louis CITY, where they managed a narrow 1-0 win. Notably, Austin FC suffered a heavy 5-1 defeat at the hands of Vancouver Whitecaps, highlighting their defensive vulnerabilities away from home. The team's goal-scoring record on their travels is concerning, with an average of just 0.67 goals per game in their last six away matches. Despite this, Austin FC have managed to keep one clean sheet during this run, suggesting they are capable of solid defensive performances on occasion. Their overall away form has contributed to their mid-table position in the league, sitting 10th with 20 points from 17 games.
