Current streaks

Recent form

DC United

DC United's recent form shows a mix of resilience and defensive vulnerabilities. The team is currently on a two-game winning streak in Major League Soccer, which is a positive turnaround after two consecutive losses. Their offensive output has been impressive, scoring 15 goals in their last 6 games, averaging 2.5 goals per game. Notably, all of their recent matches have been high-scoring affairs, with over 2.5 goals in 100% of these games and both teams scoring in 83% of them. The 3-3 draw against Atlanta United and the 4-3 loss to FC Dallas stand out as particularly exciting, high-scoring encounters. While their attack has been potent, their defense has been somewhat leaky, conceding 1.83 goals per game and managing only one clean sheet in this period. This combination of strong offense and vulnerable defense has resulted in matches with an average of 4.33 total goals, providing exciting games for spectators.

New York City FC

New York City FC's recent form has been inconsistent, with only one win in their last six games across all competitions. Despite sitting in 5th place in the league, their recent performances have been marked by defensive struggles, conceding 13 goals in six games and failing to keep a clean sheet during this period. Notably, there have been two high-scoring games in their recent outings, both ending in 4-2 defeats against Columbus Crew and FC Cincinnati. The team's ability to score has remained consistent, finding the net in all six matches, but their defensive vulnerabilities have led to a negative goal difference of -3. With 67% of their recent games seeing over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring in all six matches, NYCFC's games have been entertaining for neutrals but concerning for fans hoping for more stability at the back.

DC United

DC United's recent home form has been concerning, with the team currently on a three-game losing streak at Audi Field.
