Player to watch: Christian Benteke
We think Benteke will be one of the key performers at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on the 27th of July. Not only is he the best DC United finisher right now, but he is also one of the most frequent scorers in MLS in general. With 16 goals and three assists in MLS this season, Benteke will do his best to prove our Atlanta United vs DC United predictions correct.
Second player to watch: Thiago Almada
The Argentine attacking midfielder is about to get transferred to one of EU’s top clubs. He has the potential to perform at the highest level imaginable, and we can’t wait to see him perform at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
