DC United have performed better than New England so far this season, but every game starts at 0-0. Here's all you need to know about the upcoming game:

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting New England have a different surface at their stadium (artificial turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 5-6-18 (win-draw-loss) from 29 matches. New England have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 4700 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
