New York City FC has won four of its last six matches against D.C. United (D1 L1), including a 6-0 victory in the most recent meeting last October. The six-goal loss was the largest margin of defeat in D.C. United’s MLS history and tied for the largest margin of victory in NYCFC’s MLS history.
D.C. United has lost only one of its last four matches (W2 D1) following a four-match losing streak in March-April. The 1-1 draw with Miami on Saturday ended a run of 14 straight D.C. matches that ended with a winner (W6 L8).
New York City FC has won four of its last five matches (D1), though all of those games were played at home. NYCFC has won just two of its last 16 regular season away matches (D5 L9) dating back to last July.
Taxi Fountas scored D.C. United’s first goal against Miami on Saturday before assisting on the second. Fountas has scored (5) or assisted on (2) all seven of D.C. United’s MLS goals since his first start in the competition on April 23.
Brazilian Talles Magno and Argentinian Valentín Castellanos scored NYCFC’s two goals against Columbus on Saturday. Brazilians and Argentinians have combined to score 15 of New York City’s 21 MLS goals this season.
