Conner Antley (Knee injury), Jackson Hopkins (Ankle injury) and Hakim Karamoko (Abdominal problems) will not be taking part for D.C. United manager Troy Lesesne.

In our view, Black-and-Red will probably go for a 3-4-3 formation for the game with Luis Barraza, Derek Dodson, Lukas MacNaughton, Lucas Bartlett, Aaron Herrera, Brandon Servania, Hosei Kijima, David Schnegg, Jared Stroud, Jacob Murrell and Dominique Badji.

⚡ Prediction

It looks to us that D.C. United have it within them to dominate possession and create several successful chances.

At the other end, Colorado Rapids could well find it tough to get shooting opportunities but we do think it’s quite likely that they will be hitting back at some stage here, too.

Therefore, we are anticipating a decent 3-1 winning score for D.C. United at the end of the match.
