Two out-of-shape teams will clash at Red Bull Arena on Wednesday evening, when the New York Red Bulls are due to host DC United. Let's be honest, both teams have struggled to pick up positive MLS results in recent weeks. The hosts aren't struggling quite as much as the visitors, but they've only won one of their last six league games, and the reason for that must be a lack of defensive solidity. Michael Bradley's young side is full of offensive spirit and exuberance, and they can certainly hurt teams, scoring freely at times, but they've found it very hard to keep it tight at the back. 

Scoring goals has been a problem for Wednesday's visitors, but this is a clear opportunity for them to hurt what is an inexperienced defense. Hopefully, the men from Audi Field can draw on their previous vists to Red Bull Arena, where they usually find the net. On paper, this is clearly a sizable opportunity for both teams to do some offensive damage, perhaps more so than the early betting reflects, so bettors could do much worse than to take 'Both Teams to Score'.

Our New York Red Bulls vs DC United Prediction

Wednesday's visitors haven't exactly sparkled offensively in recent weeks, but they're up against a very open Red Bulls team, so if they're going to notch on the road any time soon, then this is the game. The hosts know how to score goals at home, where they recently banged in four against Cincinnati, but let's face it, they can't exactly keep it tight at the back, making 'Both Teams to Score' look like a slightly more appealing bet than odds of -137 may suggest.
