Current streaks

Recent form

Chicago Fire

The Chicago Fire's recent form has been concerning, with only one win in their last six matches across all competitions. They are currently experiencing a three-game losing streak, which includes two Leagues Cup defeats and a heavy 4-1 loss to Inter Miami in their most recent MLS fixture. The team's defensive struggles are evident, conceding an average of 2.17 goals per game in their last six matches, while their offensive output has been limited to 1.17 goals per game. Notably, 83% of their recent games have seen both teams score and over 2.5 goals, indicating high-scoring affairs. The 4-1 defeat to Inter Miami stands out as a particularly high-scoring game. With only one clean sheet in this period and a goal difference of -6, the Fire's 14th position in the league table reflects their current struggles in both attack and defense.

DC United

DC United's recent form presents a mixed picture with some interesting trends. The team has been involved in a series of high-scoring matches, with all of their last six games featuring over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring in 67% of these encounters. Their offensive output has been impressive, averaging 2.17 goals per game, but defensively they've struggled, conceding 2.33 goals per game. Notably, their 3-3 draw with Atlanta United and 3-4 loss to FC Dallas were particularly goal-rich affairs. While they've managed two wins in their last six games, including a strong 3-0 victory over Santos Laguna in the Leagues Cup, they've also suffered three losses, including a heavy 4-0 defeat to Celtic in a friendly. Their current 11th position in the league with 29 points from 27 games suggests a mid-table performance, but their recent form indicates potential for both exciting attacking play and defensive vulnerability.
