The DC United vs New York Red Bulls betting odds point to goals at both ends in an Atlantic Cup rivalry game at Audi Field, played on DC United's Noche Latina.
René Weiler's side have failed to win 9 of their last 10 MLS games. Their most recent outing was a 4-0 hammering at Inter Miami, and the slump is real.
Michael Bradley's Red Bulls arrive in form, winning three of their last four MLS games. Julian Hall and Jorge Ruvalcaba starred in their latest 4-1 home rout of San Diego FC.
New York have won their last three away games against DC United in all competitions. Sitting eighth in the Eastern Conference, the visitors have every reason to keep their foot down.
DC United vs New York Red Bulls Recent Results
DC United's problem is at the back. They have conceded at least two goals in each of their last three MLS games, which wipes out the work of a side that shoots early and often. Tai Baribo is the outlet up front, getting a shot on frame in 8 of his last 10 MLS outings.
New York's attack is the best unit on the field Wednesday. Julian Hall has tested the goalkeeper in 5 of his last 6 MLS outings, and Jorge Ruvalcaba gives the front three a second threat on the counter. The catch is defensive: this group is rated soft at defending set pieces, and DC United are dangerous from dead balls.
DC United vs New York Red Bulls Lineups & Team News
Injuries & Suspensions
DC United: G. Segal (Injured/out), K. Castillo (Injured/out), L. Munteanu (Injured/out), H. Kijima (Injured/doubtful)
New York Red Bulls: R. Mosquera (Injured/out), C. Harper (Injured/out), A. Marcucci (Injured/out), D. Padelford (Injured/doubtful)
DC United
The big question in the DC United vs New York Red Bulls lineups is Hosei Kijima, who will be checked after picking up an injury against Inter Miami. Silvan Hefti and Matti Peltola could both step into the starting XI, while Louis Munteanu's absence leaves Baribo and J. Hopkins to carry the attack.
New York Red Bulls
Devin Padelford could miss out after an injury against San Diego FC, and Jahkeele Marshall-Rutty is expected to replace him. Cameron Harper's absence stings, as he has found the back of the net in four of his past five outings against DC United. Michael Bradley is not expected to make further changes.

DC United vs New York Red Bulls Prediction & Best Picks
Our Prediction
Our prediction for this one is a 2-1 New York win. DC United shoot enough and carry enough set-piece threat to get on the board, but the visitors have won their last three road games against DC United in all competitions. Hall leads a front line built to punish a defense that keeps conceding, and New York are our side on the moneyline.
Best Picks
Over 2.5 in the Total Goals Over/Under market. DC United and New York Red Bulls have met in several high-scoring games lately. The Total Goals Over/Under market is where this game makes the most sense. Our projection sits at 3.39 total goals, and there have been 3+ goals in 5 of the last 6 meetings between these clubs in Major League Soccer. Two sides this loose at the back do not produce a quiet night.
Yes in the Both Teams To Score market. Both sides have scored regularly in this fixture. The Both Teams To Score market backs up the 2-1 call. Both teams have scored in 5 of the last 6 meetings in Major League Soccer, and DC United's appetite for shooting means New York's shaky defense should be tested all night.
DC United vs New York Red Bulls Same Game Parlay
This Same Game Parlay stacks three player props: Tai Baribo in the Anytime Goalscorer market, a Choupo-Moting shot on target and a Forsberg assist.
Tai Baribo has found the net in 6 of his past 10 MLS appearances. He leads the line in DC United's probable XI against a New York defense rated soft at stopping opponents.
Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting has put a shot on frame in 6 of his last 8 MLS games. Starter or super-sub, he gets shots away against a leaky DC United back line.
Emil Forsberg has set up a goal in each of his last 3 MLS appearances against DC United. New York love a through ball, and that suits his playmaking in the final third.
At the time of writing, this Same Game Parlay pays a best price of +1000 and is as short as +500 elsewhere. That's a difference in potential winnings of $50 from best to worst price.

DC United vs New York Red Bulls Talking Points
The duel to watch is DC United's set pieces against a New York side rated weak at defending them. Keisuke Kurokawa leads DC United with 64 corner kicks taken, and his delivery is the hosts' clearest route to goal. At the other end, homegrown striker Julian Hall leads New York with 11 MLS goals this season, and his finishing is the reason the visitors carry the edge. That collision of a dangerous DC dead-ball game and a sharper New York attack shapes this matchup's best picks.
