DC United return home looking to respond after a disappointing 3-1 defeat to Chicago Fire, a result that extended their inconsistent run of form. The capital club have struggled defensively throughout the season, conceding 1.9 goals per game across their last 10 matches, while home fixtures have been especially open with an average of 4.75 total goals per match. There is some positive news for DC, though, as defender Silvan Hefti returns from suspension and should add experience to a vulnerable back line. Going forward, the hosts still carry attacking threat, averaging 1.5 goals per game overall.
St. Louis City travel to the American capital in confident mood after securing impressive back-to-back victories over Colorado Rapids and Los Angeles FC. The visitors have collected 1.7 points per game across their last 10 matches and continue to show a balanced attacking approach, scoring 1.7 goals per match during that stretch. Away form has also improved recently, with St. Louis losing just once in their previous six road games. Defender Jaziel Orozco remains doubtful, but the visitors still look well equipped to continue their momentum. With both sides regularly involved in entertaining contests, another open MLS clash could be expected here.
As both teams consistently create chances while struggling for clean sheets, we are tempted to place our bets on Both Teams to Score, alongside Over 2.5 and Over 3.5 goals.
This MLS match will be played on Sunday 17 May 2026 at 00:30.
