DC United play host to Nashville at their Audi Field in what is going to be their only fourth meeting in the Major League Soccer. DC United are eyeing their first ever triumph over Nashville, and the bookies see them as favourites to pick up all three points from Saturday’s clash. All Gaoussou Samake, Chris Odoi-Atsem, Moses Nyeman, and Adrien Perez are sidelined with injuries, but keep in mind that the capital club produce much better showings at home than on the travels.

As for the visiting side, all Handwalla Bwana, Irakoze Donasiyano, Robert Castellanos, and Teal Bunbury are out of contention through injuries.
