The first Atlantic Cup match of the season finds both the Black-and-Red and the former Metros dissatisfied with their play thus far in 2016
Over the past few seasons, two things have been a constant when D.C. United and the New York Red Bulls meet: It's been a battle of two of the stronger Eastern Conference sides, and the Black-and-Red have struggled to get much going on the attacking side of the ball. We know the former count isn't true right now, as both sides have struggled to pick up points in the first third of the season despite being in an Eastern Conference that looks, somehow, to have gotten weaker.
