DC United to boost play-off hopes against Toronto FC
3020

On Saturday night, DC United host Toronto FC at Audi Field in the Eastern Conference of MLS, as the home team look to move into the play-off spots.

DC United have endured a mixed start to their campaign in the Eastern Conference, although they are still well in the hunt for one of the play-off spots level on points with seventh-place New York Red Bulls.

A 2-1 defeat at New York City last time out continued their indifferent league form, as it means that the Black and Red have won just two of their last six league matches.

The defeat in New York ended a stellar defensive run for United, as they had previously kept three consecutive clean sheets.

DC United’s home form is typical of their general inconsistency, as they have won three and lost three of their last six MLS games on home soil.

Their recent matches on home soil have been low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in their last four home games.

Toronto FC have endured a difficult campaign in the Eastern Conference, picking up just five points from their ten games.

A 2-0 home defeat against Cincinnati last time out was the Reds fifth straight league defeat. The game also saw the Canadian outfit concede at least two goals for the fourth consecutive game in the Eastern Conference.

At this early stage of the campaign, a play-off spot looks unlikely for the visitors. However, there are plenty of games remaining to bridge the eight-point gap to the play-off spots.

Toronto have struggled for form on the road of late, as they have failed to win any of their last eight matches on their travels in MLS. In fact, they have lost seven of those eight winless matches on their travels.

Forebet predicts that DC united will boost their play-off hopes by recording a victory in a high-scoring encounter to add to the visitor’s misery.
