DC United host Charlotte in a league game where both sides need points for different reasons. The hosts sit 11th and still need points to stay clear of the lower zone, while the visitors in 4th are pressing the group above them in the table. DC United have come through their last five games without losing much, but they have also not won for a long time. Their attack is clearly blunt, to the point that the game where they scored has become the exception. Charlotte, meanwhile, are unbeaten in a row and just thrashed their opponents 3-1 in their latest match, so the visitors' attack looks clearly more ready. This game is likely to play out with Charlotte dominating the ball and attacking, while DC United drop back into a block and wait to counter. If the hosts can hold their shape early and avoid conceding quickly, the game will stretch out even more, and that is the moment the hosts are best at.
