DC United<\/a> host Atlanta United<\/a> at Audi Field on Saturday, September 12 (7:30 PM ET \/ 6:30 PM CT \/ 4:30 PM PT).<\/strong><\/p>\n

There’s no fresh team news to complicate selection here: DC United and Atlanta United both check in with a clean bill of health, so this one should come down to execution rather than absentees. Tai Baribo<\/a> and Louis Munteanu carry DC United’s attacking weight, the pair combining for 18 goals and 90 shots between them this season, while Atlanta United will lean on Aleksey Miranchuk and Miguel \u00c1ngel Almir\u00f3n Rejala, who have created 40 and 37 chances respectively to keep the visitors’ front line supplied.<\/p>\n

Audi Field doesn’t figure to host an out-and-out shootout. DC United sit 12th in the Eastern Conference<\/a> on 25 points from 22 games with a -eight goal difference, while Atlanta United are two places further back in 14th on 22 points from 23 games and carrying a -13 goal difference \u2014 neither group is built to turn this into an end-to-end scoreline. Expect a cagey, low-scoring night where a single moment of quality decides it, and DC United’s sharper edge in front of goal could be enough to nose them home.<\/p>\n
