DC United team news and form: More from DC ahead?
DC United didn’t have a memorable 2024 MLS campaign. With two draws since the start of the 2025 chase, we can’t help but wonder what that means for coach Troy Lesesne and his players.

Player to watch: Christian Benteke
The 2024 Major League Soccer campaign was a bittersweet experience for the Belgian goalscorer. Sure, he did scoop the Top Goalscorer Award, but his team was denied access to the knockout phase of the competition, as DC couldn’t acquire enough points.
Second player to watch: Boris Enow
Enow is one of DC’s three goalscorers this season. We have him down as a player to watch in our professional DC United vs Sporting KC prediction, as we expect to see more of the same from the midfielder against Sporting KC.
