Recent form

Chicago Fire

Chicago Fire's recent form has been a mixed bag, with the team showing both promise and inconsistency. The Fire are currently experiencing a two-match losing streak in Major League Soccer, having failed to score in their last two outings. However, their form prior to this was impressive, with a particularly noteworthy 7-1 thrashing of DC United on 7th June, which stands out as an exceptionally high-scoring game. The Fire have been prolific in front of goal, averaging 2.33 goals per game over their last six matches, but they've also struggled defensively, failing to keep a clean sheet in their last eight games. Their matches tend to be high-scoring affairs, with 67% of their recent games seeing over 2.5 goals. Despite their current 11th position in the league, the Fire's goal difference of +5 over the last six games suggests they have the potential to climb the table if they can tighten up their defence.

Charlotte FC

Charlotte FC's recent form has been mixed, with the team experiencing a slight downturn in their last few matches. The Crown have lost their last two games, both away from home, which might indicate some struggles on the road. Despite their 10th position in the league, their goal-scoring record is impressive, averaging 2 goals per game in their last six matches. However, their defensive record is a concern, conceding an average of 2.17 goals per game. The team's matches have been notably high-scoring, with 83% of their recent games seeing over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring. Their 3-3 draw with DC United in the US Open Cup and the 4-2 loss to New York Red Bulls stand out as particularly goal-laden encounters. Charlotte FC's inability to keep clean sheets, managing only one in their last six games, could be a key area for improvement as they look to climb the table.

Recent home/away form

Chicago Fire

Chicago Fire's recent home form has been somewhat inconsistent, with two wins, one draw, and three losses in their last six matches at Soldier Field. The Fire have struggled to find the back of the net in their most recent outings, failing to score in their last two home fixtures against Philadelphia Union and Nashville SC. However, they did enjoy a convincing 4-0 victory over Detroit City in the US Open Cup, which stands out as their highest-scoring game in this period. Defensively, the Fire have managed two clean sheets, but they've also conceded three or more goals on one occasion. Their goal difference of +1 over these six matches suggests a relatively balanced performance, though their current 11th position in the league table indicates room for improvement. Interestingly, exactly half of their recent home games have seen over 2.5 goals, while both teams have scored in only a third of these matches.

Charlotte FC

Charlotte FC's recent away form has been rather disappointing, with the club struggling to find consistency on their travels. The team have lost four of their last six away matches, including their most recent two outings against Sporting Kansas City and Philadelphia Union. Their sole victory came against Toronto FC, where they managed to keep their only clean sheet in this run. Notably, Charlotte FC have been involved in several high-scoring affairs, with five of their last six away games seeing over 2.5 goals. The match against DC United in the US Open Cup was particularly thrilling, ending in a 3-3 draw. Despite their attacking prowess, scoring an average of 1.67 goals per game, Charlotte FC's defence has been a concern, conceding 2.33 goals per game on average. This defensive frailty was especially evident in their 4-2 loss to New York Red Bulls, the highest-scoring game in this sequence.
