New York City FC's recent form has been a mixed bag, with a streak of three consecutive wins followed by a worrying run of three straight losses. Their last victory came in an impressive 5-1 thrashing of San Jose Earthquakes, showcasing their potential for high-scoring performances. However, their defensive vulnerabilities have been exposed in their recent defeats, particularly in the 3-2 loss against Columbus Crew. With an average of 3 total goals per game and a 50% split between matches with over and under 2.5 goals, NYCFC's games have been entertaining for neutral fans. Despite their inconsistent form, they remain in 6th position in the league, indicating that they are still in contention for a playoff spot.
