The DC United manager B. Olsen attacks this game with the team placed 13th so far. In the visitors dressing room New York City and their manager R. Deila are in 9th place before this match.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for DC United and New York City.
New York City have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 4400 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
