Atlanta United will try to end the three -match streak on the visit of DC United on Saturday night.
In a single point standing, separates DC (4–10–6, 18 digits) and Atlanta (4–10–5, 17 points), and both clubs are below the playoff line. Both teams are allowed to goals in each of the league leaders (DC 39, Atlanta 37), while 17 goals of DC United are tied to the second lowest clan in MLS.
With the completion of more than half of the schedule, the time to turn on things for these clubs is ending.
Atlanta defender Ephraine Morales said, “Every game should win.” “DC … now struggling a little, but this does not mean that in MLS there is not much in the sense that any team can beat any team. You just need to take it with full head of steam.”
Emmanuel Latte Lath Atlanta leads five goals, although the striker is kept in a 12 -match scoring drought.
Atlanta United DC has 6-1-1 in its previous eight regular season meetings with United, which includes 3–0-1 noted 3–0-1 points in distant matches. Five strips will need to call on the history to overcome their recent road crises, as Atlanta is the only Eastern Conference Club that is yet to be recorded to win this season (0-7-2) so far.
Beyond the home-field benefits, DC United may be assisted by many players returning from international duty and injured list. The prominent name is Star Forward Christian Bentke, who missed six matches with an ankle injury before playing 28 options to lose Nashville SC 1-0 on last Saturday.
DC coach Troy Lesne said, “(Bentke) our major goal scorers are still with six goals, and he has played in matches this year (13 out of 13 regular-season).” “So I think everything says. And only his condemnation in the locker room: he gives confidence to other people.”
Joao Peglo (Grin) and Jackson Hopkins (hip) also returned to action in the Nashville match and should be re -available on Saturday. DC midfielder Gabriel will remember the match due to suspension of a game for violent conduct during the game against Pirani Nashville.
