Recent form

Chicago Fire

Chicago Fire's recent form has been rather inconsistent, with the team experiencing a turbulent period in their last six matches. Despite their 9th position in the league table, the Fire have struggled to maintain momentum, winning only two of their last six games. A particularly noteworthy result was their emphatic 7-1 victory over DC United, showcasing their potential for high-scoring performances. However, this has been followed by a concerning run of three consecutive losses, including a defeat in the US Open Cup. The Fire's defence has been under pressure, failing to keep a clean sheet in their last 11 matches, whilst their attack has been somewhat prolific, averaging 2 goals per game. With 67% of their recent matches seeing both teams score and going over 2.5 goals, Chicago Fire's games have certainly been entertaining affairs for neutrals.

San Diego

San Diego have shown impressive form recently, despite their most recent loss to Houston Dynamo. The team went on a four-match winning streak before that defeat, demonstrating their ability to bounce back from setbacks. Their offensive prowess is particularly noteworthy, with an average of 2.83 goals scored per game over the last six matches. The high-scoring affair against Vancouver Whitecaps, which ended 5-3 in San Diego's favour, stands out as a particularly thrilling encounter. San Diego's matches have been entertaining for neutrals, with 67% of their recent games seeing both teams score and over 2.5 goals. Despite their strong attacking record, their defensive vulnerabilities are evident, conceding an average of 2 goals per game. Nevertheless, their current position atop the league table with 39 points from 21 games underscores their overall effectiveness this season.

Recent home/away form

Chicago Fire

Chicago Fire have shown inconsistent form at home recently, with their last six matches yielding three wins, one draw, and two losses. The team have managed to keep two clean sheets during this period, but have also failed to score in two of their matches. Their most impressive performance came in a 4-0 thrashing of Detroit City in the US Open Cup, demonstrating their potential for high-scoring encounters. The Fire have been involved in an equal split of high and low-scoring games, with 50% of their matches seeing over 2.5 goals. Interestingly, both teams have scored in only a third of these fixtures, suggesting that when Chicago Fire win, they often do so without conceding. Their most recent home match, a 3-2 victory over Charlotte FC, bucked this trend and provided an exciting, high-scoring affair for the fans.

San Diego

San Diego have been in impressive form away from home, securing four wins in their last six away matches. The team are currently enjoying a three-match winning streak on the road, demonstrating their resilience and attacking prowess. Notably, their away games have been high-scoring affairs, with 83% of these matches seeing over 2.5 goals. The clash against Vancouver Whitecaps was particularly goal-laden, ending in a thrilling 5-3 victory for San Diego. Despite their strong offensive output, averaging 2.33 goals per game, San Diego have struggled defensively, failing to keep a clean sheet in their last six away games and conceding an average of 2 goals per match. This combination of potent attack and leaky defence has resulted in exciting matches for spectators, with both teams scoring in 67% of San Diego's recent away fixtures.
