Recent form

FC Cincinnati

FC Cincinnati's recent form has been a mixed bag, with their last six games resulting in two wins, two draws, and two losses. Despite this inconsistency, they have maintained a strong position in the league table, sitting in 2nd place with 56 points from 30 games. Their goal-scoring prowess is evident, averaging 1.67 goals per game, but they've also conceded at the same rate, resulting in a goal difference of zero over this period. Notably, their matches tend to be high-scoring affairs, with 67% of games seeing over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring in two-thirds of the matches. The standout game in this run was their impressive 4-1 victory over CF Montréal, showcasing their offensive capabilities. However, they also suffered a heavy 4-2 defeat to Philadelphia Union in the Leagues Cup, highlighting some defensive vulnerabilities.

Los Angeles FC

Los Angeles FC's recent form has been concerning, with only one win in their last six matches across all competitions. Despite sitting in 4th position in the league, their recent performances have been marked by defensive struggles, conceding 10 goals in six games (1.67 per game) and keeping only two clean sheets. The team is currently on a three-game winless streak in Major League Soccer, with their last league victory not reflected in this recent list. Notably, their match against LA Galaxy was particularly high-scoring, ending in a 4-2 defeat. LAFC's goal-scoring has also dipped, averaging less than a goal per game (0.83) in this stretch, which is a significant drop from their season average. The team's negative goal difference (-5) over these six games is a stark contrast to their overall league position, suggesting a recent dip in form that they'll be keen to address.

Their recent form, coupled with their 2nd position in the league with 56 points from 30 games, indicates that FC Cincinnati is a formidable force at home.

Los Angeles FC

Los Angeles FC's recent away form has been inconsistent, with a concerning trend of three consecutive losses in their last three away matches. The team has struggled defensively on the road, conceding 10 goals in their last 6 away games, including a high-scoring 4-2 defeat to LA Galaxy. Despite these challenges, LAFC has shown moments of brilliance, such as their impressive 3-0 victory against Seattle Sounders in the Leagues Cup. Their ability to keep clean sheets in 3 out of 6 away games is noteworthy, but the team's overall goal difference of -2 and the fact that 67% of their away games have seen over 2.5 goals suggest that their matches tend to be high-scoring affairs with defensive vulnerabilities.
