Team News

DC United
New England
  • Tyler Miller is out while he recovers from shoulder surgery.
  • Steven Birnbaum is at least three weeks away with a knee injury.
  • Russell Canouse is expected to be available as he's coming back from an ankle injury.
  • Brandon Bye and Dylan Borrero are both recovering from torn ACLs last season.
  • Mark-Anthony Kaye is suspended from a red card last season.

Prediction

  • DC open the season at home hosting New England who will travel back from Panama after winning their midweek Concacaf Champions Cup match.
  • DC come into the season with a new manager as well as some fresh faces including newly signed designated player Matti Peltola.
  • It will be interesting to see if DC lack match sharpness and if New England have tired legs from the travel.
