📋 Team News: D.C. United

Gabriel Pirani (Knee injury), Lukas MacNaughton (Muscle injury), Dominique Badji (Hamstring injury) and Christian Benteke (Ankle injury) will not be taking part for D.C. United boss Troy Lesesne.

We are thinking that Black-and-Red may well opt for a 5-4-1 system, handing starts to Luis Barraza, Conner Antley, Garrison Tubbs, Matti Peltola, Lucas Bartlett, David Schnegg, Rida Zouhir, Brandon Servania, Jackson Hopkins, Peglow and Jacob Murrell.

📋 Team News: New York Red Bulls

New York Red Bulls manager Sandro Schwarz has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Marcelo Morales (Knee injury), Serge Ngoma Jr. (Hamstring injury), Dylan Nealis (Muscle injury) and Lewis Morgan (Knee injury) miss out here.

It’s our belief that Red Bulls seem most likely to play in a 4-2-3-1 system by sending out Carlos Coronel, Kyle Duncan, Alexander Hack, Tim Parker, Omar Valencia, Felipe Carballo, Peter Stroud, Dennis Gjengaar, Emil Forsberg, Mohammed Sofo and Eric Choupo-Moting.

⚡ Prediction

We’ve got the feeling that New York Red Bulls and D.C. United should both be able to find the back of the net here although it’s difficult to select a clear winner.
