Sports Illustrated Stadium will host Thursday’s MLS game as New York Red Bulls take on D.C. United, with both sides eager to bounce back. As the capital club do not seem to be at their sharpest, we predict a 2-0 home win. The Red Bulls are reeling from a heavy 4–1 loss to CF Montreal, but their overall form remains solid at 1.40 points per game. At home, the Metros have been particularly strong (2.25 PPG), scoring 2.00 goals per match. However, injuries to Cameron Harper, Justin Che, and AJ Marcucci could impact squad depth, especially defensively.
D.C. United head into the midweek game after a goalless draw with Philadelphia Union, showing inconsistent form (1.00 PPG). Their attacking struggles are evident, averaging just 0.80 goals per game and failing to score in 50% of matches. Absences of Kristian Fletcher, Donovan Pines, and Jacob Murrell further weaken their options.
Considering New York Red Bull's strong home form, our prediction firmly points toward Home Win. Additionally, Under 3.5 goals and New York to Win to Nil bets seem tempting due to moderate H2H scoring trends.
This MLS match will be played on Thursday 23 April 2026 at 00:30.
