DC United and New York RB meet at a moment when their form is heading in completely different directions. The hosts just finished their league game with a 0-4 defeat, while the visitors just crushed their opponents 4-1 in their latest match. DC United are in a spell where their attack is blunt and their defence is leaking badly, having conceded 46 goals in 27 matches, with the back line getting carved open regularly. As for New York RB, although they have lost 12 of 28 matches, they have still scored 38 goals and just won their latest game in emphatic fashion. This game is likely to be open and end-to-end from the start, because both sides have tended to concede more than they score this season. If DC United can control possession and push high early on, the game should flow toward the hosts, who will get more chances. But if they let New York RB sit back and counter quickly, the hosts could run into the same problems they have faced in recent matches.
