Prediction

  • New York City battled to their first win of the season last weekend against Inter Miami, bringing an end to Miami's unbeaten start to the season with a 1-0 victory. Despite their seven shots on target, New York required a Christopher McVey own goal to break the deadlock.
  • DC United equalised late on against Orlando City last week, ultimately drawing 1-1, meaning that both New York and DC have a win, draw and loss to their name so far this campaign.
  • DC will be looking to improve on last season's poor showing, having finished bottom of the Eastern Conference. Despite this, DC did beat New York 2-1 last time these two sides met. New York will be looking for another win, building on the momentum from last week, as they look to climb the table towards the play-off spots.
