New York City vs DC United Prediction: Its either side’s game

New York City and DC United face each other in the round 4 of the new MLS season. These two sides have not had the start they had hoped earlier, but they can only look forward to getting back on track as they season progresses. New York City picked up their first win in their last match against Inter Miami FC, while DC United have failed to grab another win, since their 3-2 win against Toronto FC on the opening day. 

The new season is well and truly underway and New York City find themselves on the wrong side of things. Despite starting the season with a defeat against Nashville (2-0) and then a draw against Chicago Fire (1-1), New York City had to work hard to win Inter Miami CF (1-0) in their last match. The only goal scored was an own-goal by Christopher McVey in the 36th minute and that was enough for New York City to get all 3 points. In their last 5 matches, New York City recorded 1 win, 2 draws and 2 losses.

Team Streak: - Less than 2.5 goals (4/5), Less than 4.5 cards (7/9).

DC United are back to struggling again this season from the look of things. After winning the opening match 3-2 against Toronto FC, DC United have failed to win in their last 2 matches. They lost to Columbus Crew 2-0 and then played a 1-1 draw against Orlando City in their last match. Christopher Durkin was on target for DC United, as he drew level in the 80th minute, after Duncan McGuire scored the opening goal for Orlando City in the 53rd minute. In their last 5 matches, DC United had 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses.

Team Streaks: - Without clean sheet (11), Both teams scoring (7/8), First to concede (4/5), Less than 4.5 cards (9/9), Less than 10.5 corners (6/6)

These two have faced each other 19 times in total before now. New York City have 10 wins, while DC United have 6 wins and 3 matches ended in a draw. The head-to-head streaks are: -

• DC United have not kept a clean sheet in the last 6 meetings.
• More than 2.5 goals were scored in 5/6 matches
• Less than 4.5 cards were shown in 7/8 matches

Personally, I have great expectations for DC United this season. They are not a great team, but they can put up a good performance on their good days. I think DC United can push New York City in this match, which is good for both sides. So, both defences will need to be on top of the game if either team will pick up a win here.
