Recent form

New York Red Bulls

The New York Red Bulls are currently in a solid 4th position in the league with 42 points from 26 games, showcasing a remarkable unbeaten run in their last six matches. Their recent form is characterized by consistency, with five draws and one win, indicating a team that's difficult to beat but struggling to secure outright victories. The Red Bulls have been involved in several close contests, with 67% of their recent games featuring under 2.5 goals. However, their attack remains potent, scoring in five out of six matches, while their defense has been relatively sturdy, conceding only once per game on average. The standout result in this period was their 3-1 victory over FC Cincinnati in Major League Soccer, which represents their highest-scoring game in the recent stretch. Despite the lack of losses, the abundance of draws suggests the team might be looking to convert these tight games into wins to solidify their position in the league.

Philadelphia Union

The Philadelphia Union's recent form has been mixed, with their last six games showing a pattern of LWDLDL. While there are no notable winning or losing streaks, their performance in the Leagues Cup has been more impressive than their league position suggests. The team has been involved in some high-scoring matches, particularly their 4-2 victory against FC Cincinnati in the Leagues Cup. Their attacking prowess is evident with an average of 1.67 goals scored per game, but their defense has been somewhat leaky, conceding an average of 1.5 goals per game. The total goals average of 3.17 per game indicates exciting matches for spectators, with both teams scoring in 67% of these games. Interestingly, there's an even split between games going over and under 2.5 goals, suggesting unpredictable outcomes for goal totals.

Recent home/away form

New York Red Bulls

The New York Red Bulls have demonstrated a solid defensive record at home, with three clean sheets in their last six games and conceding only 0.83 goals per game on average. While they haven't lost any of their recent home matches, they've struggled to convert draws into wins, with four of their last six games ending in stalemates. The team has shown an ability to score, averaging 1.67 goals per game, with two particularly impressive performances: a 3-1 victory against FC Cincinnati and a 3-0 win over Toronto FC. Their games tend to be high-scoring affairs, with 67% of matches going over 2.5 goals. The Red Bulls' home form has been characterized by consistency and resilience, but they'll be looking to turn more of these draws into wins to improve their standing in the league.

Philadelphia Union

Philadelphia Union's recent away form has been concerning, with a notable run of four consecutive losses prior to their most recent win against FC Cincinnati in the Leagues Cup. Their defensive struggles are particularly evident, having conceded a staggering 18 goals in their last 6 away games, averaging 3 goals conceded per game. Despite their offensive output of 1.83 goals per game, they have been unable to keep a clean sheet in any of these matches. All six games have been high-scoring affairs, with over 2.5 goals scored in 100% of the matches and both teams scoring in 83% of them. The total goals average of 4.83 per game highlights the team's involvement in exciting, open contests, but also underscores their defensive vulnerabilities on the road.
