Players to Watch

Christian Benteke (DC United)

Christian Benteke is back in action for DC United after the injury. In 13 MLS appearances, he has scored six goals and also has an assist to his name for the Black and Red. Even though the 34-year-old forward was in action for around 30 minutes, he is fit to start.

The former Liverpool forward is going to play an important role in the final third. Benteke can bring his side back on a winning run.

Miguel Almiron (Atlanta United)

The 31-year-old from Paraguay has experience in the English Premier League, but has not been in his best form this season. Miguel Almiron has six goal involvements in 17 Major League Soccer matches this season. He will be looking to step up so that he can help his side in the attacking front by scoring goals.
