Atlanta United Fc vs DC United Prediction & Picks - Major League Soccer

Prediction published on 5/7/24, 11:31 AM  by Will Chace | Modified on 5/7/24 at 7:31 PM in Major League Soccer Picks

Atlanta United will host DC United fresh off the heels of their US Open Cup game in the Round of 32 against third-tier side Charlotte Independence. Tuesday's match against the USL League One representatives should be a breezy one for the 2018 MLS Cup Champions, but it could have lingering effects on Saturday's affair. Gonzalo Pineda is expected to rest many players in an attempt to keep his core healthy and ready to go for their match against DC United, who are coming off a disappointing 2-2 draw. The disappointment stems from a 2-0 lead they could not take advantage of, ultimately drawing on home turf against the Philadelphia Union. Now with only one win to their name across their last 5 matches, DC hopes to maintain a lead this time around and put their extra days off to good use. Atlanta has also struggled recently, losing at home to Minnesota United. In fact, their last win was in March, with 3 draws and a loss making up a forgettable April for Atlanta supporters.
