Recent Form
Atlanta has gone 3-1-1 (W-L-D) since returning from the Leagues Cup break in mid-August. Its most recent win, a 5-2 home victory over Inter Miami CF, was a great team performance to build momentum before heading into this double matchweek. On the other side, D.C. United has recorded back-to-back scoreless draws and is fighting for points to stay above the playoff line.
Series History and Last Meeting
Atlanta has been the dominant side between the two teams, holding a series record of 9-6. Atlanta's most recent win over D.C. came earlier this season at home in June. Goals from Giorgos Giakoumakis, Andrew Gutman and Tyler Wolff secured a 3-1 win, which was Atlanta's sixth result within a seven-match unbeaten run.
Players To Watch
Brooks Lennon (Atlanta United) – It's hard to choose just one 5-Stripe to watch out for after Saturday's impressive performance from nearly everyone on the pitch. However, Lennon possesses offensive qualities as a defender that has proven to be difficult for other teams to combat. The fullback recorded 1g/1a and maintained an 88.6% passing accuracy against Miami to earn a spot on the MLS Team of the Matchday 32.
Christian Benteke (D.C. United) – The striker continues to lead the attack for D.C. this season with 10 goals. Benteke recorded a brace earlier this month against Chicago Fire, and he ended the night with five shots and 14 duels won in D.C.'s most recent draw against Charlotte FC.
