New York City have been inconsistent in their recent outings and will be eyeing a stable run starting with their next game as they take on DC United at the Red Bull Arena in New Jersey. Hosts New York City are fourth in the Eastern Conference standings with 14 points and DC United are seventh, on 13 points. New York City have a game in hand and a win here may not propel them to the top three but will help the team close in. They are coming from a 1-0 win over Atlanta United courtesy of Ismael Tajouri’s goal in the 69th minute. That was their eighth goal in the last five league matches, but seven have come in the second half and they will be hoping to improve on the two wins they’ve managed in the last six matches. Both sides have scored in five of their last six matches and three of their last four have produced over 2.5 goals. At home, in the league, they have one win in the last four league games.

DC United on their part, are coming from three straight unbeaten matches, with three clean sheets and two wins. They drew 0-0 with Montreal in their last game, a result that ended a run of back to back wins over Inter Miami but they are still a formidable side, especially defensively. They haven’t conceded in four of the last six matches. The last two away matches have presented some improvement as they’ve avoided defeat but they still have just one win in the five away league matches played this season.
