Form & Streaks

NY Cosmos have lost 3 consecutive home matches.

Hartford Athletic are undefeated in their last 7 away matches across all competitions when going into this fixture (4W, 2D, 1L in 7 matches shown in All Comps venue data - 4W, 2D, 4L total).

NY Cosmos have lost 6 of their last 10 matches across all competitions (3W, 1D, 6L in 10).

Hartford Athletic have drawn 5 of their last 10 matches across all competitions (2W, 5D, 3L in 10).

Tactical Overview

NY Cosmos are struggling for form, having lost six of their last ten matches across all competitions and conceding a concerning 2.42 goals per game on a recent-form basis. Their home record is also shaky, with just two wins in their last five at Hinchliffe Stadium, punctuated by a 0-3 defeat to Brooklyn in this competition. Hartford Athletic arrive with a considerably tighter defence, conceding just 0.61 goals per game in recent form, and boast a strong clean sheet percentage away from home, holding opponents scoreless in 50% of their last 10 away matches across all competitions. While the head-to-head record is dated, Hartford Athletic's superior Elo rating and current form suggest they hold the ascendancy.
