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.
These are full days for the team playing at home, as they had a match only four days ago in the US Open Cup. That game was an away game at Flower City Union, so at least DC United are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
DC United form and stats
1-0-3 (win-draw-lost) are the Major League Soccer numbers at home for DC United so far this season. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for DC United with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Cincinnati game, 49 days ago, have they avoided a loss.
DC United are returning here after guesting Flower City Union in a US Open Cup game and winning with a 3-0 scoreline.
Before that game, the home loss against Austin with the scoreline 2-3.This is expected to be a close game, with DC United perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with DC United as a small favourite), we find 16 games. DC United has won eight of these, drawn two and lost six.
The DC United fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 5 in 4 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 6 goals have been conceded.
New England form and stats
