NYY Red Bulls at DC United 9/12/2020 - MLS Picks & Predictions

DC United should be feeling really lucky that they avoided the loss against New York City last week. They will now remain at home and will play host to the other New York franchise, as the Red Bulls are coming to town on Saturday. The Red Bulls have been in pretty bad shape lately and are coming off back to back losses at home.

DC United (2-4-4) are coming into this match after a goal-less draw at home against New York City. However, they failed to record a single scoring chance, while New York City had 19, with four on target. Prior to that, DC United beat the Red Bulls by 1-0 on the road but that was their only win in their last eight matches (1-3-4). They are sitting at the 10th spot of the league table with 10 points, scoring 9 goals and conceding 13 so far. Their home record is a mediocre 1-2-2 with 5 goals for and 6 against.

The Red Bulls (3-5-2) were nowhere to be found in their first match after the change in coach, as they lost hands-down to Philadelphia by 3-0 at home. That was their second consecutive loss and third in their last four, going win-less in that span (0-3-1). The Red Bulls are now sitting at the 9th spot of the Eastern Conference with 11 points, scoring 7 goals and conceding 13 in the process. They have not been anything special on the road so far (1-3-2), scoring just 3 goals and conceding 7 in the process.
