🏠 DC United: form and statistics
D.C. United enters this weekend's MLS fixture with a lot of pressure, with an unfortunate 13th place standing in the Eastern Conference. The club can only boast of 2 wins, 3 draws, and 5 losses; thus, they have fallen down into deep waters without form. Their most recent match played was against Philadelphia Union, which ended up losing for the club with a score of 3-0, a sure sign of a deepening concern over their defense. D.C. United has conceded goals for six continuous matches in the MLS, of which this season, they managed to keep just one match with a clean sheet. In terms of football betting trends, over 2.5 goals have scored in five of their last six games; four of the last five have featured under 10.5 corners - this is when any bettors would want to remain glued.
Audi Field-DC's home form is pretty mixed: with 2 drawn, 2 lost, and just 1 win, they have fared worse in their last five games. Their attack, lacking the healthy presence of top striker Christian Benteke, has suffered firepower shortages. Benteke is said to be close to returning into action this weekend. Moreover, the club is in negotiation with former Manchester United star Paul Pogba. He is eyeing a comeback into Major League Soccer. Also, Garrison Tubbs is expected to strengthen the backline. For all kinds of people betting who would want value in MLS odds, D.C. United is one research-unpredictable side that is often entangled in both teams to score outcomes and high-scoring fixtures.
📝 DC United Lineup
🔖 Expected Lineup: Barraza; Schnegg, Rowles, Herrera, Bartlett, MacNaughton; Servania, Kijima; Stroud, Badji, Murrell.
⛔️ Out: Christian Benteke, Peglow, J. Hopkins
👤Head coach: Troy Lesesne

✈️ Colorado Rapids: form and statistics
It is at this point of the season that Colorado Rapids quietly emerge among the up and coming consistent MLS betting picks. Being fifth in the Western Conference, Colorado currently has 4-4-2 record and really great away form. The team has gone three matches without a loss and away from home have won two, drawn one, and lost once in the last four games away. Most recently, in one of the tightest encounters, the team played a 1-1 draw with Seattle Sounders. Djordje Mihailovic entered the score sheets and in the process made another assist, thus earning his fourth MLS Team of the Matchday appearance.
On the basis of football statistics and betting, the Rapids have seen both teams score in three of the last four encounters, and all of their last four matches have featured at least one goal from their opponents. Just as strong, they have also been corner-finding in most of their matches; however, they have most of their matches under 10.5 corners, thus being one of the best fits for under-corner markets. With consistent performers like Rafael Navarro and Mihailovic, Colorado's xG as well as their attacking outputs remain solid, with injuries to Samuel Vines and a few squad players not slowing them down. An interesting point for the MLS club is a balanced squad, tactical discipline, and ability to grind it out, especially when away, making them worth it for double chance or draw-no-bet markets.
📝 Colorado Rapids Lineups
🔖 Expected Lineup: Steffen; Maxsø, Vines, Cannon, Awaziem; Mihailovic, Bassett, Atencio, Larraz; Rafael Navarro, Yapi.
⛔️ Out: Samuel Vines, A. Beaudry, Ali Fadal
👤Head coach: Chris Armas

🎯 DC United vs Colorado Rapids Match Prediction
Between D.C. United and Colorado Rapids, this particular match in the MLS presents some interesting wagering opportunities. D.C. United continues to struggle with inconsistent performances and defending, even while on home ground. The possible return of Christian Benteke may just revive the team's attacking prowess; however, that remains to be seen. Colorado Rapids are in far better form and have major momentum on their side.
