Match preview
The Eastern Conference’s bottom two teams go head-to-head, making this one must win for both.
Last weekend, D.C. United suffered their biggest-ever defeat at home, hammered 6-0 by Philadelphia Union.
Wayne Rooney described the performance as ‘embarrassing’ with the Black-and-Red having taken just one point from their last five games.
This leaves the capital club at the foot of the overall standings, four points below the next-lowest club.
Atlanta United meanwhile are just one place but eight points better off in the east.
The Five Stripes battled to a 2-2 draw at Columbus Crew last weekend.
However, Gonzalo Pineda’s team have only won one of their last seven, only winning four home games since their last road victory at D.C. on 2 April.
So, if the 2018 MLS Cup champions are to make a late play-off push, this one at Mercedes-Benz Stadium is surely must win.
