DC United
New York Red Bulls and DC United square off against each other at Red Bull Arena in what is expected to be an interesting MLS game. The Metros failed to win the previous four league fixtures, but it seems as if they will not have a better chance than this to get back on course. Cameron Harper is widely expected to replace Omir Fernandez in the starting XI, while all Fletcher, Monzon, Ngoma, Carmona, and Reyes continue to miss out with injuries.
The capital club, on the other hand, aim to put an end to their three-game winless run. DC United are not regarded as good travelers, which is probably the main reason why home win should be considered. All Gaoussou Samake, Andy Najar, Chris Odoi-Atsem, Moses Nyeman, and Adrien Perez are out of contention with injuries, speaking of the visiting side.
