Ends the season on a losing streak

Prediction for the 1st half
New York City have scored in the first half in 9 of their last 10 away matches. The trend applies specifically to away games and the relevant period of the match, although the data do not include separate first-half statistics. We pick New York City First-Half Team Total Goals - Over 0.5 at odds of 1.80*.
Match Result Prediction
DC United have failed to win 9 of their last 10 matches and have lost five in a row. The hosts have lost 14 of their 33 matches this season. However, New York City have failed to win 7 of their last 8 matches, making it harder to back them to win outright. The pick is Double Chance - X2 (New York City to Win or Draw) at odds of 1.39*.
Total Goals Prediction
Total Goals - Over 2.5 has landed in 7 of DC United's last 8 matches. Over their last ten matches, the hosts have conceded an average of 2.3 goals, while New York City have scored an average of 1.4 goals in their recent away matches. However, DC United have conceded an average of just 1.25 goals in their recent home matches. Taking this limitation into account, we pick Total Goals - Over 2.5 at odds of 1.66*.
Corners Prediction
DC United have taken fewer than 5.5 corners in 11 consecutive head-to-head matches between these teams. The more recent home trend also falls within that line: the hosts have taken fewer than 4.5 corners in five consecutive matches. Head-to-head results do not replace current data, but here both trends support DC United Team Total Corners - Under 5.5 at odds of 1.51*.
Both Teams to Score Prediction
New York City have scored and conceded in 6 of their last 7 matches. DC United have conceded in nine consecutive matches, while New York City have conceded in 11 of their last 12 away matches. The hosts’ scoring record tempers the prediction: they have averaged 0.75 goals over their last ten home matches. So the Both Teams to Score - Yes bet at odds of 1.54* has a basis, but is not without risk.
Safer Bet
DC United have conceded in nine consecutive matches. New York City have scored in the first half in 9 of their last 10 away matches and have averaged 1.4 goals over their last ten away matches. These figures support New York City Team Total Goals - Over 0.5 at odds of 1.20*.

⭐ Editor's Pick
The match looks set to be shaped by DC United's weak defence and New York City's tendency to play in open games where both teams score. The "Both Teams to Score" trend is supported by the visitors' results and the hosts' regular defensive lapses. Even with nothing at stake in the standings, both teams are capable of scoring - DC United need to end their losing run in front of their own fans, while New York City consistently create chances in attack. The main prediction is Both Teams to Score - Yes.
