Atlanta United
DC United and Atlanta United take on each other at Audi Field in what is expected to be an interesting MLS game. The capital club aim to recover from a 1-0 loss to Charlotte and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against the Five Stripes. Bear in mind, though, that experienced Belgium striker Christian Benteke serves a one-game ban due to the accumulation of yellow cards. The likes of Jackson Hopkins, Steve Birnbaum, Christopher Mcvey, Conner Antley, and Russell Canouse miss out with injuries.
Atlanta United, on the other hand, head into the midweek clash following a 2-2 draw with Houston Dynamo. As DC United and Atlanta United seem to be evenly matched at the moment, yet another close encounter is on the cards. All Luis Abram, Saba Lobzhanidze, and Bartosz Slisz are on international duty, speaking of the away side.
