D.C. United MLS Cup Betting Lines

D.C. United MLS Betting

There were wholesale changes in the nation’s capital this offseason. DC United parted ways with Paul Arriola, trading him to FC Dallas for a record $2 million in GAM, and they also sold Kevin Paredes to German side Wolfsburg for $7.35 million. The new star of the club is expected to be Michael Estrada after he was signed from Mexico club Toluca for a reported $5 million, and Taxi Fountas will play a large role in DC United’s fortunes too whenever he transfers in from Rapid Vienna.

D.C. United 2022 Preview

It certainly has hurt to see Paul Arriola thrive in Dallas, but DC United have reason to be optimistic over the remainder of the season given what we have seen from Taxi Fountas since he arrived. Fountas has five goals and three assists in just 471 minutes of action, making him one of the most productive players on the MLS. That has helped fellow newcomer Michael Estrada thrive, and Estrada now has four goals and two assists in 441 minutes of play. Ola Kamara is also having a nice year with five goals.

The issue for DC United has been the club’s defense. The Black and Red have allowed almost 1.6 goals per game through their first 12 games, and that’s just not going to cut it.

D.C. United Past Results

DC United was the first dynasty in the MLS. They won the Eastern Conference in each of their first four seasons, and they won the MLS Cup in three of those four years. They became the first club to win four MLS Cups in 2004, and they have claimed the US Open Cup three times in their history. Their last title was one of the most humorous titles in MLS history, as DC United won the 2013 US Open Cup in a year where they won just three of 34 matches in league play.

This club has fallen on rough times over the last decade, largely underwhelming despite significant investment. There was a brief period where this club was exciting in 2018 and 2019 though. DC United’s addition of Wayne Rooney in June 2018 was met with plenty of fanfare, and the aging striker delivered with 23 goals in 48 games. He left after spending a little over a year with the club, and DC United failed to make the playoffs in either 2020 or 2021.
