DC United were rock bottom of the MLS Eastern Conference but then Wayne Rooney arrived in town and he's made a big impact on them. 16 appearances have seen Rooney score nine goals and United now find themselves in seventh place in the conference and only two points adrift of the play-offs. Over the last 15 games they are the fourth highest points scorers and are on an unbeaten run of seven league and cup games. The last six league matches have delivered four wins and two draws with 16 goals with five of those matches having over 2.5 goals scored in them. Home form is impressive with ten league wins, two draws and two defeats with just one loss in the last ten. The two teams to win at DC United are both in the top four but United face another tough game here.

Their opponents are FC Dallas who are top of the Western Conference. They have a four point lead over Sporting Kansas City and Los Angeles United with the top two automatically going into the play-off quarter finals. They have only lost one of their last eight league games but on their travels have lost five league matches with only one win in their last five and two from the last eight with only one home league loss all season. Dallas have only scored 19 away league goals and have a -3 goal difference. With DC United in such good form, particularly at home, the tip here is for a home victory.
