2-2 Draw
Perhaps it may come as a surprise to many of you, but the 2-2 draw is the most common result in this rivalry and one that we rely on in our key DC United vs Toronto prediction. With 30% of the last 10 matches ending this way, it’ll be nothing out of the ordinary for the game on the 26th to end in a similar fashion as well. It will be an opening MLS match and there won’t be too much pressure to succeed so both sides will be able to show their best game.
Over 1.5 First-Half Goals
In five of the last 10 matches between the two teams we saw at least two goals in the first halves of the game. Why should the game on the 26th of February be any different? After all, our key DC United vs Toronto predictions were based on the fact that coach Wayne Rooney’s side had the poorest defense in last season’s campaign. Seeing as the 37-year-old manager was one hell of an attacker, we might just see him disregard security at the back in favor of goalscoring chances in Toronto’s penalty box.

DC United odds: +130 – 42.0%
Draw odds: +260 – 26.0%
Toronto odds: +195 – 32.0%
With a 42.0% likelihood of winning on the 26th, DC United are clear favorites to win the game but don’t let the +130 odds tempt you. Instead, we believe that a draw at +260 is far more likely to happen and while the likeliest draw result isn’t 2-2, we believe that the +1,150 odds from TwinSpires are certainly worth the risk as plenty of games between the two teams ended this way in the past.
Predicted Lineups, Team News, and Last Result
DC United
Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney was appointed as manager back in July last year and ever since then, we’ve failed to see an improvement in DC United’s performance. The team was at the bottom of the table in the Eastern Conference and with a total of 71 conceded goals, you can see why we have high hopes in our key DC United vs Toronto predictions.
Predicted lineup – Miller (GK), Jeahze, Birnbaum, Williams, Ruan, Klich, Palsson, Rodriguez, Morrison, Fountas & Benteke
Toronto
The Lorenzo Insigne – Federico Bernardeschi duo will be the one to pull Toronto forward in MLS this season much like it was in the 2022 campaign. The two players’ combined tally last season was 14 goals and we’re certain that now that they are finally settled in Toronto, they’ll reveal their amazing talent. And their skills are a crucial part of our DC United vs Toronto predictions.
Predicted lineup – Johnson (GK), Petretta, Hedges, Rosted, Laryea, Bradley, Osorio, Kaye, Insigne, Bernardeschi & Diomande

Player to Watch: Christian Benteke
The former Liverpool and Crystal Palace star is among the most noteworthy names in recent Premier League history. He was a constant threat to the opposition’s goalkeepers in the past but now he’ll be a lethal weapon in coach Wayne Rooney’s hands as he’ll undoubtedly be the star striker up front with penalty duty reserved for him.
