New York City and DC United are set to battle for three points at Yankee Stadium in the MLS Eastern Conference this week. Showdown is scheduled for 24th October 2021 at 02:30 EAT.
DC United is in the seventh place with 41 points after 30 matches played; they are closing in the final series playoffs while New York City is right behind them also with 41 pints after 30 matches played. Both of them have only four matches left.
New York City heads into this match in an unsteady form having won in only one out of their five previous matches. In their most recent MLS fixture they shared spoils 1-1 with Atlanta United and they have a chance to get back to their winning ways here.
DC United has had three matches run this month without a win this month and this as must-win match for them or else they will be thrown off the final playoffs zone by this opponent. In their previous MLS match they lost 2-3 to the table toppers New England Revolution.
Although both teams seem to be shaky to keep their positions, DC United is in better form than their opponents. New York City lost or drew nine of the last ten games they played while DC United won or drew six of the last ten games they played.
