Recent Form
Westchester SC
Westchester SC’s record over their last 5 matches is 2 wins, 1 draw, 2 losses, scoring 11 goals and conceding 12 goals.
Looking more closely, the team has shown a degree of explosiveness in attack, having beaten Corpus Christi 5:1 and Sarasota Paradise 2:0. However, their defensive stability is lacking: they lost 0:4 to Boise and 2:5 to New York City, conceding heavily in consecutive matches.
Their most recent data point is a 2:2 home draw with Portland Hearts of Pine on 2026-04-25, which is some time before this fixture, so data on their recent run of consecutive matches is insufficient.
Portland Hearts of Pine
Portland Hearts of Pine’s record over their last 5 matches is 0 wins, 3 draws, 2 losses, scoring 3 goals and conceding 7 goals.
The team’s biggest problem is low attacking efficiency — just 3 goals in 5 matches, with 2 of those matches ending in a clean sheet against them. Their overall goals conceded is not especially alarming, but their most recent 2:3 defeat to Corpus Christi shows the backline is also at risk of sustained pressure.
Based on the available data, Portland Hearts of Pine have lacked the ability to win recently, and their away form offers no adequate support either.
Head-to-Head History
Only 1 head-to-head meeting is provided:
- 2026-04-25: Westchester SC 2:2 Portland Hearts of Pine
In that match Westchester SC failed to win at home, but both sides scored, indicating that neither backline is completely solid. With a head-to-head sample of only 1 match, its reference value is limited.
Data Analysis
Attacking Comparison
- Westchester SC: 11 goals in the last 5 matches, averaging 2.2 goals per game
- Portland Hearts of Pine: 3 goals in the last 5 matches, averaging 0.6 goals per game
Westchester SC hold a clear edge in attacking numbers, particularly at home, where they have recorded 2 or more goals in several matches. Portland Hearts of Pine remain persistently weak in attack; unless they improve their finishing efficiency in this match, it will be hard for them to apply sustained pressure away from home.
Defensive Comparison
- Westchester SC: 12 goals conceded in the last 5 matches, averaging 2.4 per game
- Portland Hearts of Pine: 7 goals conceded in the last 5 matches, averaging 1.4 per game
Westchester SC’s defense fluctuates considerably, and this is their main vulnerability. Portland Hearts of Pine have conceded relatively fewer goals, but combined with their weak attack, the initiative in this match is still more likely to rest with the home side.
Home and Away Factors
In the available data, Westchester SC have produced strong attacking output in several home matches, including 5:1, 2:0, 2:2 and 2:5. Although their defense is unstable, their home scoring ability is clear.
Portland Hearts of Pine have no wins in their last 5 matches, and with away records of 0:1, 2:3 and 2:2, their away defense is far from impenetrable.
Match Prediction
Taking the available data together, Westchester SC’s attacking firepower is clearly superior to Portland Hearts of Pine’s, and they are at home for this fixture. Portland Hearts of Pine are winless recently and weak in front of goal; if that form continues, it will be difficult for them to get a favorable result away from home.
That said, Westchester SC concede a fairly large number of goals, and the two sides’ last meeting finished 2:2, so a home win is the more reasonable call here, but confidence in a clean sheet is low.
Predicted Score: Westchester SC 3:1 Portland Hearts of Pine
Confidence Rating: ★★★☆☆ (3/5)
Reasons for the lower confidence: league table data is missing, both sides lack complete continuity in their recent fixture schedules, and the head-to-head sample consists of only 1 match.
