Minnesota United is coming into this match playing in awful form in their recent matches. They have lost 6 of their last 7 matches with no wins in that span, but they finally broke their 6 match losing streak with a 1-1 draw against Houston in their last match, and that match should give them some confidence to bounce back here at home as they were one of the better teams in the league prior to their losing streak. When playing at home, they have lost their last 2 straight with no wins in their last 3 matches there, but prior to this poor run they had won 3 of their last 4 matches there with no losses in that span. They are going up against a DC United side that has also been in awful form in their recent matches. They are coming off of a 2-1 win at home against Nashville in their last match, but prior to that they had lost their last 2 straight as well as 5 of their last 6 matches with no wins in that span. They finally got their win at home in their last match, but they still found themselves behind 1-0 early in the match and had to come back as their defense has not been good. They have allowed at least 2 goals in 4 of their last 5 matches and they have allowed 14 goals in that span. When playing away from home, they have lost 4 of their last 5 matches with no wins in that span. Their attack has been much worse as they have gone scoreless in 2 of their last 3 as well as 3 of their last 5 away matches, and they allowed 5 goals in their last away match. This is a good spot for Minnesota to bounce back at home and get a much needed win after improving their form with a draw in their last match. Minnesota will win this match at home and collect all 3 points here.
