New York Red Bulls vs DC United Prediction and Betting Tips | April 19th 2025
New York Red Bulls will host DC United at the Sports Illustrated Stadium on Saturday in another round of the 2025 Major League Soccer campaign. The home side have had a mixed start to their season and now sit ninth in the Eastern Conference with 12 points from an obtainable 24.
They played out a goalless draw against 10-man Orlando City in their last match and only got into the game after going a man up in the 56th minute, managing just one shot before the red card and eight after.
DC United, meanwhile, enjoyed a fairly commendable start to their season but seem to have lost their way in recent games. They were beaten 1-0 on home turf by Cincinnati in their last match, falling behind midway through the first half and failing to find a way back despite a significantly improved showing in the second.
The visitors sit 13th in the Eastern Conference with six points from eight matches and will be keen to return to winning ways when they play on Saturday.
