New England at DC United 7/12/19 - MLS Picks & Predictions

DC United met a tough loss against Dallas in their last match, but they will now return home for their next task, where they will host New England on Friday. New England have actually been pretty strong lately. But they have not had much luck in this venue in recent years.

New England (6-8-5) played a really balanced match against Colorado and ended up winning by 2-1. That was their second consecutive win, but more importantly they are undefeated in their last nine matches in all competitions (4-0-5). New England are sitting at the 8th spot of the Eastern Conference with 23 points. They have not been anything special on the road so far (2-4-3), keeping just one clean sheet. DC United (8-5-7) are coming off a pretty bad performance on the road against FC Dallas and lost by a final 0-2. That means that DC United have now won just one of their last ten matches in all competitions (1-3-6). Despite their recent struggles they are still sitting 2nd in the East with 31 points. They are five points behind Philadelphia and one ahead of Atlanta and Montreal. DC United have been solid at home so far (5-2-4) but have won just one of their last six (1-1-4).
