DC United have been struggling to get results lately but the truth is that they are having the best start in a season since 2015. They are coming off a loss but will look to bounce back when they will host Columbus Crew on Saturday. Columbus have also struggled themselves lately, as they are coming off consecutive losses.

DC United (5-3-2) played a really unattractive match on the road against Minnesota, where their opponents scored a late goal for the final 0-1. DC United have won just two of their last six matches and have failed to score in four of those. Even so, they are still sitting at the 2nd spot of the Eastern Conference with 17 points, tied with Philadelphia above them and Montreal below them. DC United have failed to score in each of their last three home matches (0-2-1 overall).
Columbus Crew (4-5-1) are coming off a pretty solid performance on the road against Houston but fell by 0-2. That was their fourth consecutive loss and Columbus have scored just a single goal in that span. They are now sitting at the 5th spot of the Eastern Conference with 13 points, just as many as Toronto. After a 2-0 away win against New England, Columbus have failed to score in all three subsequent losses.

However, Columbus have been pretty solid In this venue in recent years, having lost just three of the last nine (4-3-2). DC United did win by 1-0 in Columbus earlier in the season but the fact is that both teams are struggling hard right now. They are both under pressure and can blow up any time, but this might not be that match.
