The 2023 MLS season has been highly competitive, and as a result, there are no longer any undefeated teams. While some teams are struggling, they’re looking to bounce back, especially with a double-header this week. On May 20th, DC United vs LA Galaxy will take place, their first game against each other in almost four years.
Even though DC United’s performance has been lackluster, they’re still in good standing within the Eastern Conference. LA Galaxy hasn’t dazzled either, but they’re in the process of recovering from a previous defeat and are hoping to clinch a win here.

Betting on DC United
DC United has been on a bit of a slump recently, failing to win in their last three MLS games and going four games without a win in all competitions, with two draws and two losses. This has prevented them from improving their position in the Eastern Conference.
In their last game, they drew 0-0 against Philadelphia Union and they’ll be looking to get back to winning ways when they face LA Galaxy. This will be DC United’s seventh home game of the season, but they’ve been inconsistent at home with two wins, two draws, and two losses.
Possible Lineup (3-4-3): Tyler Miller; Victor Pálsson, Derrick Williams, Donovan Pines; Ruan, Russell Canouse, Lewis O’Brien, Gaoussou Samake; Christopher Durkin, Erik Hurtado, Mateusz Klich
Betting on Los Angeles Galaxy
LA Galaxy has had a tough season, only winning two out of their 12 games played. They lost their last game 2-0 against Columbus Crew, ending their weekend victory magic from their 2-1 win against San Jose Earthquakes.
If they manage to beat Ohio, the Los Angeles team will end their seven-game winless away run, which has been going since October 2022. This game against DC United could be their chance to get their first away win of the season.
Possible Lineup (4-4-2):Jonathan Bond; Calegari, Martín Cáceres, Jalen Neal, Julián Aude; Tyler Boyd, Marky Delgado, Gastón Brugman, Memo Rodríguez; Javier Hernández, Riqui Puig
JefeBet Prediction
Both teams haven’t been at their best lately, but DC United has not lost in their last five home games against LA Galaxy, winning twice during that time. This, along with the current form of each team, suggests that DC United has a good chance of winning this match.
Considering that the California team has not scored a goal in their last five away games, at JefeBet, we believe they won’t score here either. In DraftKings, the option of “NO” in both teams to score has odds of +130, so if you bet $50, your winnings would be $65.
Prediction: DC United Moneyline (DCU 2-0 LAG)
