DC United vs FC Cincinnati Prediction & Betting Tips (4 July)

The capital's franchise, like the Wizards in the NBA, is literally in shambles and has not won in nine games in the big league for a terrible record of six defeats and three draws. Last weekend, ten against eleven for 70 minutes, DC still managed to bring home a point for New York State against the NY Red Bulls 2-2. A draw which put an end to the bleeding birth of three successive defeats against the Houston Dynamo 1-4, against Atlanta at home 0-1 and on the lawn of Charlotte with the smallest of scores 1-0. In the ranking, the residents of Washington occupy the 13th spot but are only 4 points behind the play-off places, a revival must quickly arrive.

2nd in the Eastern Conference behind Inter Miami with two points behind the Florida franchise, FC Cincinnati intends to play tricks on Messi's gang until the end of the regular season. As proof, he has won 10 of his last 12 matches in MLS, the last of which was just last weekend, on the pitch of FC Dallas 0-1. Elsewhere, FC Cincy is in sparkling form on the road, defending a six-game winning streak on the road tonight.

Suspended during the last match, the Belgian striker, Benteke (14 goals in MLS) should make his return to competition tonight like the young 17-year-old talent, Matai Akinmboni. Excluded against the NY Red Bulls, Dajome (1 goal in 20 appearances this season) will not participate in this game. Out injured against the Houston Dynamo, Tubbs did not take part in the last poster (injured) and should remain in treatment tonight. He is not the only one to occupy care since Antley (7 appearances in MLS), the important Birnbaum, the long-term absentee Canouse or even Fletcher and Hopkins (16 caps in the championship) are also physically diminished. Absent due to suspension during the last match, Nigerian recovery midfielder Nwobodo (1 assist in 17 MLS appearances) could make his return to the group tonight.

On the other hand, in this small game, Luciano Acosta (9 goals, 15 assists), the most active element of this formation will remain at home (suspended for accumulation of yellow cards). Note the injuries to Baird, Hagglund, Miazga and Pinto (often with the B team). Called up with the United States for the Copa America, Miles Robinson (14 appearances in MLS this season) was eliminated but is not certain of being back with the club (probable rest).
