Recent form

New York Red Bulls

Based on the provided information, the New York Red Bulls are currently experiencing a challenging period in their recent form. Despite holding the 4th position in the league with 44 points from 30 games, they have not secured a win in their last six matches across all competitions. Their recent record shows four draws and two losses, indicating a struggle to convert draws into victories. The team has been consistently scoring, with goals in five out of six games, but they've also failed to keep a clean sheet in any of these matches. Their goal difference of -3 over this period suggests defensive vulnerabilities. The most recent game against Atlanta United ended in a high-scoring 2-2 draw, which is notable as 67% of their last six games have seen under 2.5 goals. The Red Bulls' ability to score in most games (83% of matches saw both teams score) is a positive sign, but their challenge lies in outscoring opponents and tightening up their defense.

New York City FC

New York City FC's recent form has been characterized by inconsistency and defensive struggles. The team has gone six games without a win, drawing four and losing two, which indicates a concerning trend. Notably, their defense has been porous, conceding 14 goals in the last six matches (2.33 per game) and failing to keep a clean sheet. The 5-1 loss to Philadelphia Union stands out as a particularly heavy defeat, while the 4-2 loss to Columbus Crew also highlights their defensive vulnerabilities. Despite these challenges, NYCFC has managed to score in every game, with both teams scoring in 100% of their last six matches. Their current 7th position in the league suggests they are still competitive, but their recent form raises questions about their ability to maintain or improve their standing.
