Our prediction for this MLS match:
DC United play host to Cincinnati at their Audi Field in what is expected to be a close Major League Soccer encounter. The capital club are eager to put an end to their nine-game winless run in MLS, but they will have a big fish to fry in the midweek clash. Colombia forward Cristian Dajome serves a one-game ban following his sending-off in a 2-2 draw with New York Red Bulls, while all Tubbs, Fletcher, Hopkins, Birnbaum, Antley, and Canouse remain in the recovery room.
The visitors, on the other hand, aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Dallas. As Cincinnati are eager to overtake Inter Miami in top position, we predict that they will take advantage of DC United’s poor form in the Major League Soccer. The good news for the visiting team is that Nigeria midfielder Obinna Nwobodo is back from suspension.
Highlighted Team (DC United):
D.C. United have been participating in the Eastern Conference of the MLS since 1996. The capital club play their home games at RFK Stadium Washington and they are nicknamed the Black and Red. D.C.
