Current streaks

Recent form

Nashville SC

Nashville SC is currently experiencing a significant dip in form, as evidenced by their recent results and statistics. The team is on a concerning five-game losing streak in Major League Soccer, which was only slightly alleviated by a draw in their most recent Leagues Cup match against New England Revolution. Their defensive struggles are particularly notable, having conceded 15 goals in their last six games (2.5 per game) and failing to keep a single clean sheet during this period. The 4-1 loss to Portland Timbers stands out as a high-scoring affair. Offensively, Nashville SC is also struggling, scoring just 3 goals in 6 games (0.5 per game), which has contributed to their -12 goal difference over this stretch. With 67% of their recent games featuring over 2.5 goals, Nashville's matches have been eventful, albeit not in their favor, as they currently sit 12th in the league table.

Austin FC

Austin FC's recent form has been mixed, with a notable improvement in their Leagues Cup performances compared to their MLS outings. The team has shown resilience, bouncing back from a three-game winless streak in MLS (including two consecutive losses) to secure back-to-back victories in the Leagues Cup against U.N.A.M. - Pumas and Monterrey. Their match against U.N.A.M. - Pumas was particularly high-scoring, ending 3-2 in Austin's favor. However, their Leagues Cup run was halted by a 2-0 loss to Los Angeles FC. Defensively, Austin FC has struggled, conceding an average of 1.67 goals per game in their last six matches, managing only one clean sheet. Their goal-scoring has been inconsistent, with a total of 8 goals in 6 games, but they've failed to score in two of those matches. The team's current 10th position in the league table with 31 points from 25 games reflects their inconsistent form.

Recent home/away form

Nashville SC

Nashville SC's recent home form has been concerning, with the team currently on a three-game losing streak at their own stadium. This run includes losses in the Leagues Cup and Major League Soccer, highlighting their struggles across different competitions. Notably, their goal-scoring has been a significant issue, managing only four goals in their last six home games, with an average of just 0.67 goals per game. Defensively, they've been vulnerable, conceding 10 goals in this period (1.67 per game). The team has kept only one clean sheet in these six matches, which came in their sole victory against New York City FC. While there haven't been any particularly high-scoring games from Nashville's perspective, their 3-0 loss to Orlando City stands out as their heaviest defeat in this stretch.

Austin FC

Austin FC's recent away form has been a mixed bag, featuring a notable streak of three consecutive wins across different competitions before their most recent loss. Their away performances have been characterized by both high-scoring affairs and defensive solidity. The 3-2 victory against U.N.A.M. - Pumas in the Leagues Cup stands out as a particularly high-scoring game, showcasing their offensive capabilities. Defensively, they've managed two clean sheets in their last six away games, demonstrating their ability to shut out opponents on the road. However, their goal difference of -2 over this period suggests some inconsistency, with their goals conceded per game (1.5) slightly outweighing their goals scored per game (1.17). Interestingly, 67% of their recent away matches have seen under 2.5 goals, indicating a tendency towards tighter, lower-scoring contests on their travels.
