The Black and Red Eagles, who have been below par since the league began, are yet to record a back-to-back win. DC United have now gone three MLS games without finding the back of the net. More recently, DC United settled for a toothless share of the spoils against a solid Nashville side on the road. The Black and Red Eagles were nowhere near their best as they failed to muster a shot on target at the break and were lucky not to have conceded. DC United only managed a shot at goal in the entire game and should be grateful to goalkeeper Luis Barraza, who denied their opponent five shots on goal. The game ended in a (0-0) stalemate, just like the other game against NY City, where they also opted for a (0-0) tie.
After two back-to-back stalemates in the Eastern Conference, DC United have now gone three games without a breakthrough.
Troy Lesesne’s men have managed three wins this campaign, picking up fourteen (14) points from a combined forty-two (42). They have scored thirteen (13) and conceded twenty-three (25).
DC United have won twice, lost three, and drawn two games across their last seven home games.
DC United Lineup
The Red and Black Eagles have a major injury concern coming into this game. Christian Benteke, who has six goals (6) and one (1) assist, will not feature in this encounter. Their highest goal scorer has been battling injury in recent weeks.
DC United have the second-worst defence in the league, due to their lacklustre performance at the back. The coach's adamant decision to continually play three defenders at the back might be the main reason for this.
DC United Potential Starting Lineup (3-4-3)
Luis Barraza—Conner Antley, Lucas Bartlett, Matti Peltola—Aaron Herrera, Brandon Servania, Boris Enow, David Schegg—Hosei Kijima, Peglow, Jacob Maurrell
Out: Pirani, Badji, Christian Benteke, MacNaughton
Head Coach: Troy Lesesne

Last five matches: WLWLL
The Red Bulls Metro have been struggling to adapt this campaign, with six defeats in the past fourteen (14) games. New York Red Bulls head here following another loss on the road. Sandro Schwarz’s men began their Derby match with low self-esteem, failing to muster a shot at goal in the opening forty-five minutes. It was NY City FC who dominated possession and broke the deadlock after thirteen (13) minutes of play. The second half kicked off in similar fashion as NY City extended their lead, scoring in the 50th minute. New York Red Bulls woke up late in the game; unfortunately, their only shot at goal couldn’t find the back of the net.
This result came after their (2-1) road loss against Nashville FC. Sandro Schwarz’s men have had a slow start to the season, winning five of their last fourteen league matches.
New York Red Bull FC have picked up eighteen points from a combined forty-two (42), scoring twelve (20) while conceding thirteen (17) times.
New York Red Bull FC are still in search of their first away victory, losing five and sharing the spoils twice across seven matches on the road.
New York Red Bulls FC Lineup
The hosts have struggled to keep themselves together lately, with loads of cards in games. Omar Valencia, who sat out their game against NY City FC, will be in the starting lineup again. Unfortunately, the best central defenders, Sean Nealis and Eile, won’t feature due to suspension. This is a great loss in the heart of the defence, and obviously, their opponent will take advantage.
New York Red Bull FC Potential Starting Lineup (4-2-3-1)
Carlos Coronel—Duncan, Marcelo Morales, Valencia—Felipe Carballo, Peter Stroud—Mohamed Sofo, Forseberg, Carmona—Eric Maxim Choupo Moting
Out: Harper, Edelman, Nealis, Morgan, Morales, Ngoma, Noah Eile, Sean Nealis
Head coach: Sandro Schwarz

DC United vs New York Red Bulls match prediction 18 May 2025
DC United have improved massively at the back lately, keeping back-to-back clean sheets. Unfortunately, they have failed to score in their last three MLS matches. The absence of Christian Benteke has affected their attacking prowess. On the opposing end, New York Red Bulls FC has been below par lately, especially when playing away from home. They have lost back-to-back games, and their esteem has plummeted lately.
Their most recent meeting last month ended the terrible run of nine consecutive games without a breakthrough for DC United and the hosts have the opportunity to do the double over New York Red Bulls FC.
The guests will be without their most valuable central defender pairing, who are going to watch from the stands after accumulating yellow cards. Even though both attacks have been abysmal lately, DC United stand a better chance of returning to winning ways after three games without a breakthrough.
DC United will defend well, but may not be able to score as many goals as possible. Considering both teams will play this midweek, we expect a low goal turnout.
My Prediction for this game is DC United to win or draw and under 4.5 goals with a coefficient of 1.65 on the 1xbet bookmaker.
My betting tip for this match is DC United to win at a coefficient of 2.60 on the Betway bookmaker.
My final betting tip for the match is for the home team to score first for a coefficient of 1.91 on the Bet365 bookmaker.
Good luck!
