St Louis City v DC United

St Louis City vs DC United Preview

Another clash between Western Conference and Eastern Conference will unfold at CITYPARK when St Louis City take on DC United with the hosts looking to extend their unbeaten start to this new MLS campaign to five games following a 3-3 draw away from home at LA Galaxy, while DC United were handed a heavy and disappointing 3-1 loss at home to Inter Miami last weekend which was not great preparation for this upcoming trip to face a solid St Louis City outfit.

Despite losing their last four games of last season the trot, St Louis City have produced a promising start to this new MLS term as the hosts still remain unbeaten after their opening four games which consists of three draws and a win; points picked up in draws with Real Salt Lake, Austin and LA Galaxy have been accompanied by a solid 2-0 home win against New York City as well.

The bigger picture shows St Louis City have been handed just those four defeats within their last 13 matches overall in the MLS whilst the hosts have also collected three wins during this sequence which includes previous victories gained over the likes of Minnesota United and Sporting Kansas.

Eight of these 13 games have resulted in Over 2.5 goals as well, making a claim for a delve into the goals market for this fixture.

DC United's indifferent start to this campaign was underlined by their recent 3-1 loss at home to Inter Miami last weekend which became the visitors' first defeat of this season as DC United had previously recorded a resounding 3-1 home win against New England revolution along with back-to-back draws with Portland Timbers and FC Cincinnati, both of which were away from home.

The visitors had previously posted two wins on the trot, one either side of the end of last season and the start of this campaign but overall results for Troy Lesesne's side have been pretty disappointing.

DC United have managed to register just two wins from their last 11 matches overall in the MLS while the wider picture shows just three victories from their previous 16 games, each of which have been recorded on home turf at their Audi Field, while results away from home have also been below-par.

DC United have now failed to win any of their last seven outings on the road and indeed have collected just two wins from their last 14 outings but goals have featured as eight of these 14 away games have also produced three goals or more.
