Recent form

Portland Timbers

The Portland Timbers have shown mixed form in their recent fixtures, with their last six games yielding two wins, two draws, and two losses. Despite their inconsistent results, the Timbers have managed to secure a respectable 5th position in the league table with 26 points from 16 games. Their defensive record has been particularly noteworthy, with the team conceding only four goals in their last six matches and keeping two clean sheets. However, their attacking output has been somewhat lacklustre, scoring just four goals in the same period, resulting in a goal difference of zero. The Timbers' recent matches have been characterised by low-scoring affairs, with 83% of their last six games featuring under 2.5 goals. Interestingly, both teams scored in only 33% of these matches, highlighting the team's tendency towards tight, defensive encounters. While there are no significant winning or losing streaks to report, the Timbers have demonstrated resilience by bouncing back from consecutive losses with a victory in their most recent fixture against Colorado Rapids.

St. Louis CITY

St. Louis CITY's recent form has been rather poor, with the team experiencing a challenging period in the league. They have managed only one win in their last six matches, suffering four defeats and securing a solitary draw. Notably, they endured a three-match losing streak across all competitions before their most recent victory against San Jose Earthquakes. The team's defensive frailties are evident, having conceded 12 goals in their last six games and failing to keep a clean sheet during this period. Their matches have been high-scoring affairs, with 83% of their recent games seeing over 2.5 goals. Despite their struggles, St. Louis CITY have consistently found the back of the net, scoring in five of their last six matches. However, their current 14th position in the league table, with just 14 points from 16 games, suggests they have significant room for improvement.
