DC United vs Toronto FC Moneyline Prediction

DC United failed to get back to winning ways earlier this week and had to settle for a 1-1 draw on the road against the Houston Dynamo. However, it wasn’t a bad result in retrospect. Houston controlled 64% possession, generated a higher xG (1.20 to 0.87), and outshot their opponents 20-7, so earning a point was a respectable outcome. That draw extended DC’s winless skid in league play to five matches (D4, L1).

Toronto FC are in a more difficult position. They’re coming off back-to-back scoreless draws against Montreal and New England following the World Cup break, extending their winless skid to 11 fixtures across all competitions (D6, L5). The Reds haven’t won an MLS game since April 4, when they defeated the Colorado Rapids 3-2.

DC United have won just twice in their last 10 outings (W2, D6, L1), but they are well positioned to capitalize against one of the league’s weakest defences. They also benefit from playing at home, where they average 1.57 goals scored per match. The Reds don’t seem capable of defeating anyone right now, and their prolonged winless skid makes DC favourites.

DC United vs Toronto FC Player Prop

Tai Baribo scored a goal in DC United’s last match before the World Cup break and picked things up right where he left them, finding the back of the net in the midweek draw against Houston.

The Israel international is a proven goalscoring threat in MLS and leads the team with nine goals. He’s well positioned to get on the scoresheet against a subpar defensive unit.

DC United vs Toronto FC Same Game Parlay

Although Toronto FC are coming off back-to-back scoreless draws, it’s unlikely they’ve suddenly become a defensive juggernaut. At some point, the defensive lapses that have plagued them throughout the season are likely to resurface.

Both sides are conceding over 1.60 goals per fixture this season (DCU: 1.62, TOR: 1.81), making the over 2.5 goals market an appealing option.

While Toronto have recorded back-to-back clean sheets in their last two matches, both teams scored in each of their previous two road games. BTTS has also landed in each of DC’s last five outings.

We also expect the hosts to score the first goal – they’ve opened the scoring in three of their last four league encounters.

DC United vs Toronto FC Team News

DC United Team News 

Jackson Hopkins exited the midweek game against the Dynamo due to a muscular injury, and his availability for this clash remains uncertain. His absence would be a significant loss for DC United, as he’s started in 14 of the team’s 16 league matches this season, notching two goals and one assist.

Connor Antley is dealing with a lower leg injury and is listed as questionable. Given he didn’t play in midweek, his chances of playing aren’t very high. Gabe Segal remains out with an ankle injury and won’t return to action until late August at the earliest.

Toronto FC Team News

Toronto continue to battle a lengthy injury list and could once again be without several regular starters. Matheus Pereira (groin), Lazar Stefanovic (foot), Nelson Palacio (lower body), Nicksoen Gomis (thigh), and Jose Cifuentes (knee) are the most recognizable names that won’t be available this weekend.

As a result, Toronto are unlikely to make many changes to the lineup that played a scoreless draw against New England in midweek. Expect star forward Josh Sargent, key midfielder Djordje Mihailovic, and veteran centre-back Walker Zimmerman to be in the starting XI.
