New York City vs DC United Prediction: Both clubs are equally motivated

New York City face a tough test on home ground when they host a disgruntled DC United team that are coming off a disappointing defeat from last week's round of games. New York City have remained unbeaten in their last 3 games while DC United ended their unbeaten run with a defeat last week.

The last 5 results of both clubs shows, New York City had 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss while DC United had 1 win, 2 draws and 2 losses.

On the eastern conference table, DC United is 10th with 10 points while New York City is 12th with 8 points

New York City are gradually getting some stability in their run of results after the horrible start to life in the campaign. They recorded 2 draws and 1 win in their last 3 games and they are hoping to build on that record when they face DC United this week. 

New York City played their last game against the New England Revolution and they won the game 2-0 at the end. After a scoreless first half, Agustin Ojeda scored New York City's opening goal in the 57th minute and in the 93rd minute, Julian Fernandez sealed the win with the 2nd goal. At the end New York City had the following stats: 52% possession, 6 shots on target and 4 corner kicks. They also created 2 big chances and missed both chances.

New York City is slowly building momentum and DC United presents a much tougher challenge for them. They will need to be at their very best to contain DC United in the game. 

DC United continue their struggle for a consistent winning run, which has eluded them since the start of the campaign. DC United failed to win their last 2 games, as they recorded a draw and a defeat in both games. Now they travel to face New York City and they are still hungry for a win as ever. 

DC United's last match against Orlando City ended in a defeat. After Christian Benteke’s opening goal in 5 minutes, DC United conceded in the 28th minute. Gabriel Pirani put them back in the lead in the 66th minute but conceded twice in the 82nd and 91st minutes. The game ended in a 3-2 defeat for DC United. The stats shows DC United had 53% possession, 7 shots on target and 7 corner kicks. They also created 7 big chances during the game. 

DC United will definitely come into this game fighting and they might be able to get the result they want.

According to the h2h, in the last 20 meetings New York City won 10 matches while DC United won 7 matches and 3 matches ended in a draw.
