Recent form
Philadelphia Union
Philadelphia Union's recent form has been disappointing, with three losses in their last four matches, including a high-scoring 3-2 defeat against Orlando City in their most recent game. The team has struggled defensively, conceding 13 goals in their last 6 matches, an average of 2.17 goals per game. Notably, all six of their previous games have seen over 2.5 goals scored, with both teams finding the back of the net in each match. Despite their poor run of form, the Union managed to secure a win against Nashville SC and two draws against DC United and Atlanta United. Currently sitting in 8th position in the league with 14 points from 10 games, Philadelphia Union will need to improve their defensive solidity and maintain their goal-scoring prowess to climb up the table.
New York City FC
New York City FC's recent form has been impressive, with the team winning four out of their last six games, including a three-game winning streak against Charlotte FC, DC United, and New England Revolution. During this period, they kept two clean sheets and conceded only one goal per game on average. However, their winning run was interrupted by a surprising 2-0 loss at home to Colorado Rapids. The team bounced back with a thrilling 3-2 away victory against Toronto FC, which was their highest-scoring game in the last six matches. With an average of 2.67 total goals per game, NYCFC's matches have been relatively low-scoring, with 67% of their games featuring under 2.5 goals.

Recent home/away form
Philadelphia Union
Philadelphia Union's recent home form has been disappointing, with three consecutive losses in their last three matches at home. This losing streak comes after a more positive period where they went unbeaten in three home games, including a 2-0 win against Minnesota United and two high-scoring draws against Pachuca (0-0) and Deportivo Saprissa (3-3). The Union's home matches have been entertaining, with 67% of their last six home games featuring over 2.5 goals. However, their defensive frailties have been exposed, conceding 1.83 goals per game on average, which has contributed to their recent slide down to 8th position in the league.
New York City FC
New York City FC's recent away form has been poor, with a run of four consecutive defeats before a draw against Inter Miami and a win against Toronto FC in their most recent game. The team has struggled to keep clean sheets, conceding in all six of their away matches. However, their last game against Toronto FC was a high-scoring affair, with NYCFC winning 3-2. Despite their recent victory, the team's overall away form remains a concern, with a goal difference of -4 and an average of 1.67 goals conceded per game.
