DC United look to return to winning ways against Toronto

1577

Next up is an all-Eastern Conference clash between 3rd placed DC United and 7th placed Toronto as the MLS action continues at Audi Field with DC United looking to extend their unbeaten run to 5 matches on Saturday night.

Three draws and a win have seen DC United maintain their challenge for the Final Series spot at the top of the Eastern Conference having picked up points against New England Revolution, Chicago Fire and San Jose Earthquakes.

The nation’s capital side have also picked up a 1-0 home win over Orlando City last time out in the MLS too, so they’ll be confident they can not only extend this unbeaten run to 5 matches here this evening, but perhaps also be sitting on top of the Conference by the end of the weekend as well.

DC United have suffered just 1 defeat out of their last 8 matches overall in the MLS which was a 2-1 loss away at Houston Dynamo, but form on home turf at Audi Field has been impressive in recent weeks.

The hosts are unbeaten in their last 5 at home which includes wins against Columbus Crew, Sporting Kansas and Orlando City.

Toronto sit in 7th place and occupy the last remaining play-off spot in the Eastern Conference ahead of this difficult looking trip to DC United, and they come into this encounter having recorded just 1 win from their last 9 matches overall.

The visitor’s only success during this recent lean period was a 3-2 home win over Atlanta United last time out at their BMO Field, but 5 defeats within this sequence have endangered Toronto’s chances of nailing down this last play-off position.

Defeats to Atlanta United (away), Philadelphia Union, Real Salt Lake, San Jose Earthquakes and Dallas have slowed down Toronto’s progress as well as allowing the likes of Chicago Fire and Orlando City to stay in touch on the fringes of the play-off pack.

Toronto have registered just 2 wins out of their 7 away matches so far this season which were victories at Philadelphia Union and Orlando City, but they head into this encounter having lost 3 of their last 4 matches away from home.

Losses at Atlanta United, Real Salt Lake and Dallas (all to nil) doesn’t bode well for the visitors here, and DC United should take advantage here.
