DC United vs Toronto FC Prediction: Trust neither team but back the goals market

DC United hosts Toronto FC in this week's round of MLS games and the game will be played at the Audi Field, Washington. 

DC United’s results continue to suffer rapidly as they suffered yet another defeat last week against CF Montreal. They have now lost 3 of their last 4 games in a row. And for Toronto, results have not been better for them also. They managed a draw against Philadelphia Union and they have just 1 win in their last 5 league games.

According to the current league table, DC United is ranked 10th on the eastern conference table, having 18 points while Toronto is ranked 6th having 23 points.

If DC United are serious about getting their results back on track, then they need to be doing all they can to beat Toronto in this match. Results have been poor for DC United, particularly in their last 5 games where they recorded 1 win, 1 draw and 3 defeats. 

DC United lost their last game to CF Montreal 4-2. Montreal had the first half under grasps as they scored 3 goals in the 6’, 34’ and 38’ minutes. DC United managed to get 2 goals in the same half with Cristian Benteke scoring the double in the 29’ and 42’ minute. The second half was also poor for DC United as they conceded yet again in the 73’ minute to lose 4-2 in the end. According to stats, DC United had 43% possession, 4 big chances, 4 corner kicks and 6 shots on target. 

Toronto FC is also going through a rough patch at the moment as their results have been poor. In their last 5 league games, they recorded 1 win, 1 draw and 3 defeats. Toronto are up against DC United and they have a good opportunity to bounce back if they are serious because DC United are currently struggling as much as Toronto is.

Toronto was able to rescue a point in their last game against Philadelphia Union. It was a fair result to say the least, considering the fact that they played away from home. But the result did little to improve their current situation. At the end of the tight game, Toronto's stats was:- 51% possession, 1 shot on target, 4 corner kicks, 3 shots on target. Toronto also struck the woodwork once in the match. 

The results of both clubs in the last 20 meetings against each other shows Toronto had 7 wins, DC United had 5 wins and 8 games ended as a draw.

It's a huge risk to bet on either team considering their current state. But DC United is a milder risk compared to Toronto. Because they are playing at home and that should be enough motivation for them to fight for a win.
