Our prediction for this MLS match:
DC United will try to recover from a massive 5-0 loss to Orlando City when they take on Nahsville on Sunday morning. The capital club have been struggling at the back of late, which is probably the main reason why home win should not be considered. It has to be noted that DC United have conceded 14 goals in the previous four MLS games. To make things even worse for the home side, defender Lucas Bartlett is banned for the match.
The Coyotes, on the other hand, are on a three-game losing run in the Major League Soccer. As the visitors are eager to return to winning ways as well, we are tempted to put our money on both teams to score. In their last encounter at Audi Field the two teams played out a 1-1 draw. Brian Anunga is banned for the visiting side, while all Anibal Godoy, Julian Gaines, Lukas MacNaughton, and Randall Leal are out of contention through injuries.
