Five Stripes are unbeaten in six matches against DC United

Following a comprehensive win over Charlotte Independence in the fourth round of the US Open Cup, Atlanta United are coming into this tie in a strong position. Having fielded his second string in their last game, Gonzalo Pineda has done well to rest his key players for this match. After losing their last five league matches, they will be hoping to get back to winning ways in the MLS.

This season has not been a great start for DC United, as they occupy the 9th position. Only one win has occurred in their last five matches, against Seattle Sounders. Having taken a well-deserved 2-0 lead in the first half, they conceded two goals in their last match against Philadelphia, resulting in a 2-2 draw.
