DC United vs New York City Prediction and Betting Tips | May 14th 2025
DC United will host New York City at the Audi Field on Wednesday in another round of the 2025 Major League Soccer campaign. The hosts will be keen to get a result and avoid falling lower down the league table.
DC wasted several goal-scoring opportunities and were punished for it in their 2-0 loss against Toronto last weekend, marking their sixth defeat in only 12 league games. The hosts, who are sitting in 23rd place, have struggled to pick up points all season and will be hoping to find a good spell soon if they are to end their six-year playoffs absence.
New York City also suffered defeat in their last outing as they lost 1-0 to Canadian outfit, CF Montreal but are in a considerably better place than Wednesday's hosts, having picked up five wins in the league so far. The visitors sit just outside the playoff qualification spots in the Eastern Conference and will be looking to move higher up the table this weekend.
