Recent form
New York City FC
New York City FC's recent form shows a team that has been difficult to beat but also struggling to secure victories. With only one win in their last six games, NYCFC has shown a tendency to draw, with four of their last six matches ending in ties. Their most recent victory came in an impressive 2-1 away win against Tigres UANL in the Leagues Cup. The team's defensive performance has been mixed, managing only one clean sheet in the last six games, while conceding an average of 1.33 goals per game. Offensively, they've scored in five out of six matches, averaging 1.17 goals per game. The highest-scoring game in this period was their 4-2 loss to FC Cincinnati in the Leagues Cup, which also represents their only defeat in this stretch. Despite their current 5th position in the league table, NYCFC's recent form suggests they are in a phase of consistency without dominance, with a majority of their games (67%) featuring under 2.5 total goals.
Chicago Fire
The Chicago Fire are currently experiencing a challenging period in their season, as evidenced by their 14th position in the league and recent form.
