DC is on the rise these days and is making its final push for the playoffs. Meanwhile, City is in the playoff zone but needs to gain consistency and return to the victory path. Otherwise, the team from the Big Apple can easily fall out of the top nine teams in the East.
Before Betting on DC United vs. NYC FC
The United has four wins in the past five MLS events, which is why they reached ninth place in the East, the last one leading to the play-in. They are only five points away from the spot, which directly leads to the playoffs, and with their current form, getting there is pretty realistic.
The three matches following the end of the Leagues Cup were against FC Dallas at home, and that was a 3-4 loss. This was followed by back-to-back victories versus Toronto FC on the road, 1-3, and Chicago Fire, also on the road, 1-2. All five of their previous meetings had three or more goals, and four were with both teams netting.
City is having problems. A few weeks ago, they aimed for the top of the conference, and now they have to battle to be among seven teams in the playoffs. NYCFC didn’t win in the past six MLS meetings, having won only four points out of a possible 18, which definitely hurt their cause.
Counting in the Leagues Cup, we can see that their games bring excitement. The last six had goals on both ends of the field. Also, the Citizens’ defense has managed to keep clean sheets in only two out of the previous ten meetings.
