DC United and Toronto FC are playing on the MLS schedule on Wednesday night from RFK Memorial Stadium and the game starts up at 7 pm ET and has Michael Bradley and his side looking to continue their winning ways against a team that is coming off of a loss and this kicks Week 21 of the season in Major League Soccer for the western conference rivals.
United has been playing very well this season and they are in second place in the division and they are ahead of Toronto in the standings by eight points. The two teams are meeting for the third time already this season and both sides could use the points, as they each are trying to stay up in the standings and now DC is looking to take care of business at home.
Michael Bradley comes in playing well for Toronto and the team is hoping he can keep things going and Toronto comes in after a loss against Sporting Kansas City. DC is eight points up on Toronto and the two teams have split their games this year, with both being north of the border and now it will be in Washington DC. The United come in after losing at home against Chivas USA at home and this is a big eastern conference matchup and could be a future playoff matchup this year.
The two teams played back in March and Nick DeLeon and Perry Kitchen scored in that game to give United a win in that game, while Jermain Defoe had the only goal in the other matchup to give TFC the victory in the game. The team travelled to RFK last season and pulled a draw and now they are hoping to get some points as the series shifts stateside. The game was tied heading into the second half and DeLeon scored early in the half and that gave the team the victory.
United now is in second place in the conference and they are coming in after a win against Chivas and now they are looking to do it again and they have been impressive with 34 points in 19 games this season. DC won for the third time in a row and now they are getting on a real roll and they last did that in 2012 and now are looking for their fourth against Toronto. Eddie Johnson is coming on and he now has goals in two games on penalty kicks and he will be looking to put one in for regulation on Wednesday night. The east standings has Sporting Kansas City on top by four points and win here will get DC closer and right now they are tied with the Sounders, KC that is, for the top amount of points in the MLS this season.
