Recent home/away form

Seattle Sounders

The Seattle Sounders have experienced a mixed run of form at home recently, with their last six matches yielding three wins and three losses. Notably, they endured a three-match losing streak, including defeats in the FIFA Club World Cup against Paris Saint-Germain and Atlético de Madrid, before bouncing back with a victory against Austin FC in their most recent home fixture. The Sounders have been relatively low-scoring at home, with two-thirds of their matches seeing fewer than 2.5 goals. Despite this, they've managed to keep three clean sheets in their last six games, demonstrating solid defensive performances. The highest-scoring match during this period was a 3-2 defeat to Minnesota United, which stands out as an anomaly in an otherwise low-scoring run. Despite their inconsistent home form, the Sounders find themselves in a respectable 5th position in the league, suggesting they've been more effective on their travels.

Columbus Crew

Columbus Crew have experienced mixed fortunes in their recent away matches, with their last six games yielding two wins, two draws, and two losses. The team's attacking prowess is evident, having scored in all six matches and averaging 1.67 goals per game. However, their defence has been leaky, conceding 2.17 goals per game and failing to keep a clean sheet in this period. The Crew's matches have been high-scoring affairs, with 83% of games featuring over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring in every match. Their most recent away performances have been concerning, with back-to-back losses including a heavy 5-1 defeat to Inter Miami, which stands out as a particularly high-scoring game. Despite these recent setbacks, the Crew's overall league position (4th) and points tally (37 from 20 games) suggest they remain competitive, though they'll need to address their defensive vulnerabilities to improve their away form.
