It's quite the trip for DC United when visiting York as the cities are 4400 kilometers apart.
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 New York City and DC United.
New York City form and stats
New York City have performed here at Red Bull Arena, Harrison this season with 8 wins from 13 Major League Soccer matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 3 games and lost 2.
No payout for New York City in their previous match, an away game at Orlando City that ended in defeat 1-2. The defeat against Orlando City was especially painful as the deciding goal against was scored six minutes into stoppage time (by Akindele). Moralez (midfield) was the top team player in that game with a rating of 7.82/10. Moralez scored one goal, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 54 successful passes (of 62 total).
In the game before, an away victory match versus Chicago Fire with a 2-0 scoreline.The manager Cushing will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to New England in only four days.
With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (31 in 13 games), York's attacking play is working. 15 goals have been conceded.
DC United form and stats
There's been little loot from DC United's travels as they have only collected 7 points from 13 away games in the Major League Soccer. DC United only have 2 wins to counter their 10 defeats and 1 draw. With the DC United losing streak of four defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking.
It might be tough going out on the road again for DC United, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 2-3 versus Atlanta United (placed 10th). It is worrying for DC United that their goalie Ochoa pulled off six saves in the Atlanta United fixture, but still were unable to save them from a loss. Durkin got a match rating of 7.63 in that game, top player of the team. Durkin hit two key passes.
The game before that, was lost at home, a 0-6 defeat against Philadelphia Union.A new game in only four days for DC United, the Major League Soccer home match versus Colorado Rapids. Busy days.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting DC United as they have only managed to score 12 times from 13 away games in the league. The DC United manager Rooney has some worries about the defense as 32 goals have been conceded in these travels. DC United has visited these top teams two times, and 2 of 2 has ended with 2 goals or more!
