Player to watch: Luciano Acosta
Luciano Acosta won the Player of the Season in 2024, so we expect him to be among the key players for his team against DC United. Since the start of the current campaign, the Argentine maestro managed to find the net on nine occasions and supply teammates with 14 assists.
Second player to watch: Mateusz Klich
As we mentioned earlier in our DC United vs Cincinnati prediction, Benteke won’t play. This means it’s up to Mateusz Klich to make stuff happen for his team. He is the 2nd-best finisher for DC United, which does give coach Troy Lesesne hope his team will avoid defeat.
