My Prediction
DC United by 1Let's not beat around the bush, Marvelites because this DC United vs New York City FC game is bound to tickle your soccer taste buds with a hint of unpredictability and a dash of drama.
Between the goalposts, we see Matthew Freese from New York City FC shaking off a slightly lower rating than his counterpart Luis Barraza from DC United, but we are talking about paltry decimals here, folks. Remember, soccer is as much a mind game as it is a physical one.
It's a shame we can't say the entire New York City FC squad turned up to score more often, isn't it? Despite Tayvon Gray's and Maxi Moralez's impressive pass accuracy, they’ve been keeping the ball out of the goal just as well as their goalkeeper. On the other hand, DC United aren't exactly exuding a goal-fest vibe either, albeit João Peglow and Christian Benteke, with two and one goals respectively, show signs of life.
Statistically speaking, DC United seems to be the one with the edge based on recent results, despite a less impressive regular season record. In the past five games, they managed to grab two wins compared to New York City FC's one. NYCFC’s recent victory over FC Cincinnati wasn't enough to spruce up a lukewarm record of one win, two losses, and two draws in their last five games.
Turning the pages of the soccer history book, we find DC United and New York City FC almost evenly matched, though DC United sneaks ahead with two wins to NYCFC's three. But let's not forget, nostalgia isn't just about reliving past glories, it's also about setting new records.
So here it is, folks – Albert’s Prediction: DC United by 1. I suggest you buckle up, because this ride is going to be a bumpy one.
