This week, NYC welcomes DC United to the baseball field. United are unbeaten in their last five, and a large part of that run has to do with the play of NYC transplant Patrick Mullins. Will Mullins be out to get his former team, or will City continue their impressive year? Let’s see what the experts think.<\/p>\n

Matt Pollard<\/p>\n

DRAW
\n(2-2)<\/p>\n

Patrick Mullins and David Villa.<\/p>\n

Daniel Sperry<\/p>\n

@LWOSDaniel<\/a><\/p>\n

DRAW
\n(2-2)<\/p>\n

DC is flying high lately, but are mainly doing so while giving up a few goals here and there. NYC will have a bit of a home field advantage, but Mullins is going to be out with a vengeance against his former club.<\/p>\n

Joe Hojnacki<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

NYC
\n(1-0)<\/p>\n

D.C. United wasted all their goals in last week’s 6-2 smashing of Chicago. Don’t expect their free wheelin’ attack to have that kind of firepower this week. Instead, David Villa and scores New York’s winner to keep City near the top of the East.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

DC
\n(3-2)<\/td>\n

Patrick Mullins will be up for the game no doubt. DC’s defense will continue to be leaky.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Eric Walcott<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

NYC
\n(3-2)<\/td>\n

DC is clicking since Mullins arrived, but the NYCFC attack will be too much at home.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

DC
\n(2-1)<\/td>\n

DC has been on a bit of a tear, and Patrick Mullins will have something to prove to his former club. Also, NYCs gentle DPs generally have trouble with teams that come at them with snarl.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
