Player to watch: Christian Benteke
We talked about Benteke earlier in our Chicago Fire vs DC United prediction, but we failed to inform you that he managed to outscore some of the all-time greats during the 2024 MLS campaign. Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez only scored 20 goals during their first MLS season. Surely, Benteke is on cloud nine over such a remarkable accomplishment.
Second player to watch: Jacob Murrell
Forward Murrell couldn’t score in DC’s first match this season but he did supply a teammate with an assist.
