Current streaks

Recent form

Houston Dynamo

Houston Dynamo have been experiencing a challenging period, currently sitting 11th in the league with 20 points from 18 games. Their recent form has been particularly poor, with the team on a three-match losing streak in Major League Soccer. Over their last six matches across all competitions, they have managed only one win, one draw, and suffered four defeats. The Dynamo's defence has been notably leaky, conceding an average of 2.5 goals per game, while their attack has been somewhat more productive, scoring 1.67 goals per match. Interestingly, all of their last six games have seen over 2.5 goals, with both teams scoring in 83% of these matches. Their 3-3 draw against San Jose Earthquakes stands out as a particularly high-scoring encounter, highlighting the team's defensive vulnerabilities but also their attacking potential.

St. Louis CITY

St. Louis CITY have been struggling for form recently, sitting in 14th position with only 15 points from 18 games. Their last six matches have been particularly challenging, with four losses, one draw, and just a single victory. The team's defence has been a major concern, conceding an average of 2.33 goals per game and failing to keep a clean sheet in their last nine matches. Despite their defensive woes, St. Louis CITY have been involved in some high-scoring affairs, with 83% of their recent games seeing over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring. Their most recent match against Orlando City ended in a 4-2 defeat, showcasing both their attacking potential and defensive vulnerabilities. The 3-3 draw with LA Galaxy further emphasises their tendency for goal-filled encounters. While St. Louis CITY have shown they can find the back of the net, averaging 1.67 goals per game, their inability to outscore opponents has left them in a precarious league position.

Recent home/away form

Houston Dynamo

Houston Dynamo's recent home form has been a mixed bag, with a concerning trend emerging in their last few matches. The Dynamo have lost their last two home games, conceding three goals in each, which indicates a worrying defensive vulnerability. Their home record shows two wins, one draw, and three losses in their last six matches, suggesting inconsistency at their own ground. Notably, there's been a high-scoring trend in their recent home fixtures, with four out of the six games seeing over 2.5 goals. The Dynamo have managed two clean sheets at home during this period, both resulting in 2-0 victories. However, their goal difference of -2 and the fact that they've conceded more goals (11) than they've scored (9) in these six games highlight their defensive struggles. Despite their attacking prowess, averaging 1.5 goals per game, their leaky defence, conceding 1.83 goals per game, has been their Achilles' heel in their home performances.

St. Louis CITY

St. Louis CITY's recent away form has been particularly poor, with the team enduring a concerning run of five consecutive defeats on the road. Their last six away matches have yielded just one point from a possible 18, with their sole positive result being a 2-2 draw against Los Angeles FC. The team's defensive frailties are evident, having conceded a worrying 15 goals in their last six away games, averaging 2.5 goals conceded per match. Notably, there have been several high-scoring encounters, with 83% of these matches seeing over 2.5 goals. The clash against Seattle Sounders stands out as a particularly heavy defeat, with St. Louis CITY conceding four goals. Despite their struggles, the team have managed to find the net in four of these six matches, though their goal-scoring prowess has been overshadowed by their defensive shortcomings.
