Current streaks

Recent form

FC Cincinnati

FC Cincinnati's recent form presents a tale of two competitions. After a concerning three-game losing streak in Major League Soccer, where they conceded 7 goals and scored only 2, the team has shown remarkable improvement in the Leagues Cup. They've gone unbeaten in their last three matches in this competition, including a high-scoring 4-2 victory over New York City FC. This turnaround has seen them score 6 goals in 3 games, compared to just 2 in their previous 3 MLS matches. However, their defensive vulnerabilities persist, with only one clean sheet in their last 6 games and an average of 1.67 goals conceded per game. The team's ability to both score and concede has led to entertaining matches, with 67% of their games seeing both teams score and an even split between high and low-scoring affairs.

Philadelphia Union

The Philadelphia Union have shown impressive form recently, winning four of their last six matches across all competitions. They are currently on a three-game winning streak, which includes a notable 5-1 victory over New England Revolution in Major League Soccer, demonstrating their attacking prowess. The team's defensive solidity is evident with three clean sheets in their last six games, conceding only 0.67 goals per game on average. Their goal-scoring ability is also noteworthy, with 13 goals in six matches, averaging 2.17 goals per game. The Union's recent performances have been characterized by high-scoring affairs, with half of their games seeing over 2.5 goals. Their only loss in this period came against Toronto FC in a close 2-1 defeat, but they quickly bounced back with three consecutive wins, including two in the Leagues Cup.

Recent home/away form

FC Cincinnati

FC Cincinnati's recent home form shows a mix of results, with 3 wins, 1 draw, and 2 losses in their last 6 games. The team has been particularly prolific in attack, scoring 13 goals at an impressive average of 2.17 per game. A standout performance was their 6-1 victory over Inter Miami, highlighting their potential for high-scoring matches. Defensively, they've been somewhat vulnerable, conceding 8 goals (1.33 per game) and managing only one clean sheet. The team's games have been entertaining, with an average of 3.5 total goals per match and both teams scoring in 67% of the fixtures. Interestingly, there's an even split between games going over and under 2.5 goals, suggesting unpredictable scoring patterns in their home matches.

Philadelphia Union

The Philadelphia Union's recent away form has been notably poor, with a concerning five-game losing streak across all competitions. Their defensive struggles are evident, having conceded a staggering 18 goals in their last six away matches, averaging 3 goals conceded per game. Despite their offensive output of 2.33 goals per game, they've been unable to secure positive results. The team has been involved in a series of high-scoring encounters, with all six games featuring over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring in 83% of the matches. Particularly notable are the goal-fests against Chicago Fire (4-3), CF Montréal (4-2), and FC Cincinnati (4-3), all resulting in losses for Philadelphia. Their lone victory, a 5-1 win against First State in the NPSL, stands out as their most dominant performance but hasn't translated to success in Major League Soccer.
