Player to watch: Gabriel Pirani

Gabriel Pirani was one of Lesesne’s starters against Real Salt Lake City at America First Field a few days ago. However, even DC’s #10 couldn’t help his team avoid defeat, as Real Salt Lake were just too good to take down.

Pirani tries to fill Benteke’s shoes

Currently, Benteke is the leading goalscorer for DC United, with six goals to his name. However, with two goals and two assists since the start of the 2025 Major League Soccer campaign, Pirani has earned his shout-out in our DC United vs Nashville prediction.
