Recent home/away form

Philadelphia Union

The Philadelphia Union's recent home form shows a strong upward trend, with the team currently on a three-game winning streak. This run includes an impressive high-scoring victory against New England Revolution, where they netted five goals in a 5-1 triumph. Their defensive performance has been particularly noteworthy, with four clean sheets in the last six matches, contributing to a positive goal difference of +7. The team's goal-scoring has improved dramatically in their last two Major League Soccer games, scoring eight goals combined. However, their form was less consistent earlier in the period, with two consecutive 0-0 draws and a surprising loss to Electric City Shock in the NPSL. Overall, the Union's home form appears to be gathering momentum, especially in terms of their attacking output in recent matches.

Cruz Azul

Cruz Azul has demonstrated impressive away form recently, with a notable run of three consecutive wins prior to their most recent two matches. Their defensive prowess is particularly striking, having kept clean sheets in five out of their last six away games and conceding only one goal during this period. The team's offensive capabilities were on full display in their high-scoring 4-0 victory against Monterrey, which stands out as their most dominant performance. Despite a slight dip in form with a loss and a draw in their two most recent away fixtures, Cruz Azul's overall away record remains strong, with four wins, one draw, and one loss in their last six matches. The team's ability to keep matches low-scoring is evident, with 83% of these games featuring under 2.5 goals.
