DC United are back in the MLS after their Leagues Cup campaign last week. They played 3 matches in the tournament, and they recorded 1 win, 1 draw and 1 defeat. DC United held Atlanta United to a 3-3 draw, but later won the match on penalties in the first group match, and in the second match, they defeated Santos FC 3-0. In the knockout round, they were unable to defeat Mazatlan FC, and as a result they were eliminated after losing 2-1 in regular time.
DC United hopes to pick up from where they left off in the MLS. They recorded back-to-back wins in their last 2 MLS games prior to the Leagues Cup. They had horrible results before that, so it would be a huge advantage to them to get back to winning ways in this upcoming match against FC Dallas.
FC Dallas
FC Dallas had a horrible Leagues Cup campaign after losing the two group matches they played in. They were defeated by St. Louis City 2-1 in game one and then Juarez 2-0 in game two, which ended their participation automatically. FC Dallas’ form in the Leagues Cup came as a shock to the fans, as they were in fine form prior to the tournament. In the 3 matches leading to the Leagues Cup, they recorded 2 wins against LA Galaxy and Austin FC, and then a draw against New England Revolution.
FC Dallas will hope to rediscover their previous league form when they prepare to take on DC United in this upcoming MLS fixture.
Head to Head
In the past 17 meetings, FC Dallas won 8 matches, while DC United won 5 and they drew 4 matches.
Expert Betting Tips
Considering the same shape and defensive frailties in both camps, this game could so easily end in a draw. The crowd will be behind them, so DC United will probably attempt to press hard, but there are enough opportunities for FC Dallas to penetrate on the break and possibly snatch a goal. It can't go too far beyond this: by the end of the night, this will likely be another tight game neither team capitalizes on the other's vulnerabilities.
