Open Play Expected as Leaky Defenses Meet

DC United concede 1.8 goals a game this season and have allowed both teams to score in 19 of 30 matches. FC Cincinnati average 2.1 goals scored per game while keeping just two clean sheets all campaign. Their recent form shows four defeats in five for the hosts and three defeats in five for the visitors, yet both sides continue to ship chances. Head-to-head meetings have produced over 2.5 goals in seven of the last ten encounters. DC United score 1.3 goals a game at home while FC Cincinnati net 1.6 on the road. Several defensive injuries on each roster add further uncertainty to the back lines. The match at Audi Field therefore carries a strong chance that both teams will find the net.
