Preview for DC United vs New York Red Bulls

New York Red Bulls Preview

At 9th in the East with 12 points from a possible 24 through 8 games, the Red Bulls have started the season relatively modestly. While Sandro Schwarz’s side have found it tough to hit the back of the net (9 in total), they have kept things tight at the other end as well, conceding only 7 goals. Recent victory over Chicago Fire and draw at Orlando demonstrated improvement in form. But with Omar Valencia and Serge Ngoma suspended, they’ll definitely have to change things up in the starting lineup.

Red Bulls Starting XI — Coronel; S.Nealis, Parker, Eile; D.Nealis, Stroud, Donkor, Carballo, Harper; Forsberg, Choupo-Moting

DC United Preview

Things have been tough for DC United, who have now lost four consecutive games while sitting 14th in the East. Troy Lesesne’s team has allowed 13 goals in the streak and has been particularly bad away from home, giving up 12 in only three road matches. One gleam of their hope is Christian Benteke, who has five goals in eight starts; one pitfall remains defensive footing.

DC United Starting XI — Barraza; Bartlett, MacNaughton, Rowles; Herrera, Servania, Kijima, Schnegg; Stroud, Peglow; Benteke

New York Red Bulls vs DC United Player Props

Christian Benteke Anytime Goalscorer @ +175 (FanDuel) – Benteke has scored several times for DC, and he’s a threat inside the box even with his team’s struggles.

Emil Forsberg Total Shots Over 2.5 @ -110 (DraftKngs) – Forsberg acts as a pivotal attacking outlet for New York and should see a boatload of involvement against a porous DC defense.

New York Red Bulls vs DC United Final Prediction

In light of DC United’s dire away record and New York’s impressive defensive organization, we expect the home side to take control of proceedings. With Red Bulls fighting for a spot in the top half, we take them to win, but they will want to keep this relatively low-scoring.
