Comments, predictions DC United vs New England: A bitter ending for the home team

Latest DC United vs New England team information

DC United striker Christian Benteke is likely to miss another game as he continues to recover from an ankle injury suffered against New York City FC earlier this month.

If he does not recover in time, Jacob Murrell will start in attack, with support from Hosei Kijima and Joao Peglow – two players who can play flexibly in many attacking positions.

On the New England side, coach Caleb Porter has almost a full squad. Most likely, Ignatius Ganago and Tomas Chancalay will continue to play as the striker pair, while Carles Gil plays in the attacking midfielder position behind.

Matt Polster and Alhassan Yusuf will hold down the midfield, supported by wingers Ilay Feingold and Peyton Miller.

A back three of Brayan Ceballos, Mamadou Fofana and Tanner Beason will be tasked with shutting down the second-worst-performing attack in the league if they are to get back to winning ways this week.

Latest DC United vs New England football review

DC United, under coach Troy Lesesne, are having a difficult season. In their last 10 MLS games, they have won just 2, drawn 2 and lost 6 – a record that has many people dismissing them from the playoff race early.

DC United continued their slump over the weekend, losing 0-2 at home to the New York Red Bulls. Unable to respond to goals from Cameron Harper and Mohammed Sofo, the capital club has now gone four consecutive MLS games without a goal.

The defeat left them 13th in the Eastern Conference, seven points behind ninth-placed Red Bulls, especially after Atlanta United's win over Cincinnati.

However, DC United can still find some hope thanks to their decent form at Audi Field – they have lost just one of their last five games in all competitions there. However, they have also won just one of their last six home games in MLS.

A win here would see DC United pick up their third win of the season and move up to 12th, closing the gap to the playoff places to just four points in a best-case scenario.

Meanwhile, coach Caleb Porter's New England Revolution had an impressive five-game winning streak from April to May. Despite losing just one of their last nine MLS games, they have stalled out, failing to win in their last three.

After being eliminated from the US Open Cup, New England drew 3-3 with Sporting KC last weekend. Despite a late effort to equalize, Porter was certainly not pleased that his team had lost a 2-0 lead in the first half.

With that result, New England is now in 10th place with 19 points, just 2 points behind the Red Bulls, 3 points behind Charlotte and 4 points behind Inter Miami. A win could help them squeeze into the playoff group.

Despite being unbeaten in their last six away games, the visitors have been a concern after drawing 3-3 in their last two away games. They will need to improve their defence if they are to get back on track.
