DC United and Paderborn meet in a friendly with no bearing on any table. The two sides come into this off their most recent outings in very different moods: DC United drew 3-3 in the league, while Paderborn won 3-1 in the Bundesliga. DC United have mostly been drawing of late, without a win in 3 straight, but their attack is still working, especially late in games when they tend to score. Paderborn, meanwhile, have just returned to winning ways in the league, but before that they had a mix of draws and defeats, notably a 0-3 loss in which their defence had problems. This game should be fairly open, since it is a friendly focused on experimenting with tactics and giving players minutes. If DC United score first, Paderborn will have to push forward more, but if Paderborn score first, DC United may have to step up the tempo, which would change the rhythm of the game from what it was.
