We said: DC United 1-0 Sporting Kansas City

The last three installments of this fixture has often favoured the teams playing at home, with DC United winning one in that period, an outcome we believe will be the same after the final whistle on Sunday. The away side's results on the road have been abysmal, and while the hosts have also struggled for wins at home, their potency in attack could prove to be the difference here. Read more.
