Current streaks

Recent form

St. Louis CITY

St. Louis CITY are experiencing a challenging period in their recent form, having lost their last four matches in a row and failing to secure a clean sheet in their past 11 games. Their defensive struggles are evident, conceding an average of 2.33 goals per game over the last six matches, whilst their attacking output remains relatively consistent at 1.67 goals per game. The team's position of 14th in the league table reflects their poor run of results, with only one win in their last six outings. Notably, St. Louis CITY have been involved in several high-scoring affairs, with 83% of their recent matches seeing over 2.5 goals and both teams finding the back of the net. The 3-3 draw against LA Galaxy and the 4-2 defeat to Orlando City stand out as particularly goal-laden encounters, highlighting the team's propensity for entertaining, if not always successful, football.

Portland Timbers

The Portland Timbers have shown mixed form in their recent matches, with three wins, one draw, and two losses in their last six games. Despite sitting in a respectable 4th position in the league, their goal difference is surprisingly negative (-1), indicating a struggle to outscore opponents consistently. The Timbers have been involved in some high-scoring affairs, with 67% of their matches seeing over 2.5 goals. Notably, they have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last six outings, which may be a concern for the defence. Their most recent victory against New England Revolution broke a brief two-match winless streak, while their heaviest defeat came in a 3-0 loss to Toronto FC. The Timbers have shown resilience at home, winning their last three matches at Providence Park, but their away form has been less impressive, with two losses in their last three road games.

Portland Timbers

The Portland Timbers have been struggling with their away form recently, enduring a difficult run of three consecutive losses in their latest outings. Despite their relatively strong league position, the Timbers have managed only one win in their last six away matches, with that victory coming against lower-league opposition in the US Open Cup. Their defensive frailties on the road are evident, having conceded 11 goals in six games, including a heavy 4-1 defeat to San Jose Earthquakes. The Timbers' attacking output has been particularly poor, scoring just four goals in these six matches, with an average of less than one goal per game. Their most recent away match against Toronto FC resulted in a 3-0 loss, further highlighting their difficulties away from home. Whilst the Timbers have managed one clean sheet during this period, their overall defensive record and goal difference of -7 suggest significant room for improvement in their away performances.
