Philadelphia Union 2-0 New York Red Bulls

Current streaks

Recent form

Philadelphia Union

Philadelphia Union have shown mixed form in their recent fixtures, with a notable contrast between their Major League Soccer (MLS) and NPSL performances. Despite their strong 3rd position in the league table, the Union have suffered two narrow 1-0 defeats in their last three MLS matches, both away from home. However, they've demonstrated impressive attacking prowess in their NPSL encounters, particularly in their 6-0 thrashing of Hershey. The team's defensive record is commendable, having kept three clean sheets in their last six games across all competitions and conceding only 0.67 goals per game. Interestingly, the majority of their recent matches (67%) have seen under 2.5 goals, suggesting a trend towards tighter, lower-scoring affairs. The Union's ability to score consistently (1.83 goals per game) while maintaining a solid defence has contributed to their positive goal difference of 7 over this period.

New York Red Bulls

The New York Red Bulls have shown mixed form in their recent matches, with a current unbeaten run of four games comprising three draws and one win. Their last six games have yielded 11 goals scored and 8 conceded, averaging 3.17 total goals per match, which suggests exciting, high-scoring encounters. Notably, both teams have scored in 83% of these fixtures, indicating the Red Bulls' tendency for open, attacking play. Their most impressive result came in a 4-2 victory over Charlotte FC, demonstrating their potential for prolific scoring. However, their inability to convert draws into wins has seen them settle in 8th position in the league table. With an equal split between matches going over and under 2.5 goals, the Red Bulls have been somewhat unpredictable in terms of goal output, but their single clean sheet in six games suggests room for defensive improvement.

Recent home/away form

Philadelphia Union

Philadelphia Union have been in formidable form at home recently, displaying an impressive goal-scoring prowess with a remarkable average of 4.33 goals per game over their last six matches.

These results contributed significantly to their impressive 26 goals scored across the six-game stretch. The Union have maintained an unbeaten run of four matches at home, winning three and drawing one, showcasing their strength on their own turf. However, their defensive record has room for improvement, conceding in four out of six games. Notably, all of their recent home fixtures have been high-scoring affairs, with over 2.5 goals in 100% of the matches, providing excellent entertainment for the fans.

New York Red Bulls

The New York Red Bulls have struggled to find consistent form away from home in their recent fixtures. They have managed only one win in their last six away matches, accompanied by two draws and three losses. The Red Bulls have shown a tendency to be involved in low-scoring affairs, with four out of their six recent away games ending with under 2.5 goals. Despite their defensive struggles, conceding an average of 1.33 goals per game, they have managed to keep one clean sheet during this period. Interestingly, both teams have scored in two-thirds of these matches, indicating that while the Red Bulls have had difficulties securing victories, they have generally been able to find the back of the net. Their goal-scoring rate of one goal per game suggests room for improvement in their attacking prowess on the road.
