ℹ️ Team News: D.C. United

Gabriel Pirani (Knee injury), Lukas MacNaughton (Muscle injury), Dominique Badji (Hamstring injury) and Christian Benteke (Ankle injury) will be missing for D.C. United manager Troy Lesesne.

In our view, Black-and-Red will probably kick off with a 5-4-1 system featuring Luis Barraza, Conner Antley, Garrison Tubbs, Matti Peltola, Lucas Bartlett, David Schnegg, Rida Zouhir, Brandon Servania, Jackson Hopkins, Peglow and Jacob Murrell.

New York Red Bulls manager Sandro Schwarz has to currently contend with reduced team options. 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 elect for a 4-2-3-1 lineup with a starting lineup of Carlos Coronel, Kyle Duncan, Alexander Hack, Tim Parker, Omar Valencia, Felipe Carballo, Peter Stroud, Dennis Gjengaar, Emil Forsberg, Mohammed Sofo and Eric Choupo-Moting.
