The Major League Soccer league table might not tell the truth so early on, but it's the best truth we have so far. New York RB and DC United are placed 6th and 12th respectively.
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 RB and DC United.
It's time to recharge all electronic entertainment devices for DC United, who are travelling more than 3200 kilometers to play this game.
New York RB form and stats
As mentioned below, New York RB are feasting on a winning streak here so far with maximum points from their first 2 Major League Soccer games.
York manager C. Armas and his team return home after a 1-1 draw away versus New England (placed 7th) in the Major League Soccer. A defeat was the result before that one, 0-1 away at Philadelphia Union.
The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from York's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played three games, won two matches, drawn zero and lost one.
The match schedule is unforgiving for York as they have a new game in only four days, a Major League Soccer match thankfully also at home. Philadelphia Union are visiting.
At Red Bull Arena, New York RB has the goal stats of 4-2 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.
DC United form and stats
Still no away game victory in the Major League Soccer for DC United with 1 draw and 1 loss from their first 2 attempts.
DC United play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 1-4 to Philadelphia Union (placed 3rd). Preceding that, the 1-2 home loss versus New England.
As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and DC United playing away, we found five games. Results were one away win, one draw and three home wins.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting New York City in just four days.
It's early days yet, but DC United has scored 1 and conceded 4 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).
Head 2 Head
Last ten meetings between the teams: York won six, DC United won zero and four draws. six games with over 2,5 goals, four matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
