Key New York City vs DC United Predictions & Betting Lines

DC United will travel to New York City to face coach Nick Cushing’s side at one of the most prolific US stadiums – Yankee Stadium.

New York City/New York City

As we stated in the intro for our New York City vs DC United prediction, Yankee Stadium is one of the favorite venues for all true MLS fans. New York City will host DC United on the 18th of March and we expect to see very strong home-field support for coach Nick Cushing’s boys that might just be the difference-maker this time.

New York City are raring to go as they lost the last clash against Wayne Rooney’s side. It ended with a disappointing 1-2 victory for DC United but don’t let this result fool you, the head-to-head advantage is entirely in favor of the home team.

The last 10 games between these two sides ended with six victories for New York City, two draws, and only two thrifty DC United wins.

Over 2.5 Goals

When you have seven of the 10 games between the two teams ending with over 2.5 goals, you immediately predict three or more goals in their 11th clash as well. After all, we’ve seen some freaky results in the past between the two sides.

The one that comes to mind is the sensational 6-0 New York City win not too long ago. This match was played on the 24th of October, 2021. Less than two years have passed since then and seeing as the wound is still fresh, we’re confident that our New York City vs DC United prediction this week will be successful as both sides will launch into desperate attacks trying to get the three points.

New York City odds: -161 – 60.0%

Draw odds: +305 – 23.0%

DC United odds: +430 – 17.0%

New York City’s odds to win at -161 are probably the most convincing out of all MLS games this week. Coach Nick Cushing’s boys have a whopping 60.0% and if his opponent, former Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney, wants to get a result on Saturday he’ll have to come up with an elaborate plan to win as DC United’s odds at +430 (17.0%) mean the visitors are huge underdogs.

New York City vs DC United Lineups & Team News

New York City

It’s hard being a New York City fan when your team is performing so inconsistently. Coach Nick Cushing’s boys recorded one win, lost once, and one game ended in a draw. The fans are wondering when this emotional rollercoaster will finally end but they should rest easy after reading our New York City vs DC United predictions.

Predicted lineup – Barraza (GK), Cufre, Chanot, Martins, Gray, Parks, Sands, Pellegrini, Rodriguez, Pereira & Magno

DC United

Coach Wayne Rooney took DC United’s reigns when it mattered most. The club was in a bad place and it will certainly take some time for the former Manchester United player to pick the players up from the dust. With one win, one draw, and one loss in three MLS games, DC United are on the right track to success this season. Certainly, this was better than what we saw from the team last season.

Predicted lineup – Miller (GK), Jaehze, Williams, Birnbaum, Ruan, Santos, Klich, Canouse, Durkin, Benteke & Robertha

Player to Watch: Christian Benteke

Seeing as his partner in crime Robertha isn’t a certain starter on Saturday due to the slight injury he picked up last week, it’s up to Christian Benteke to pile on the pressure against New York City. The former Liverpool and Crystal Palace star didn’t need much time to adjust to his new surroundings and he quickly became coach Wayne Rooney’s first choice for DC United’s attack.
