Team News
DC United
New England
- Brendan Hines-Ike will miss out with a broken foot, while Jacob Greene is expected to return in late March from his thigh injury.
- Martin Rodriguez also misses out after sustaining a cruciate ligament injury that will see him out until October, forcing him the miss the remainder of the season.
- Pedro Santos is a doubt after picking up a slight knock.
- Tommy McNamara and Nacho Gil are both ruled out with leg injuries, but should be back for next weekend's clash with Nashville.
- Andrew Farrell is also expected to return soon from a leg injury, but Jacob Jackson still has another month of rehab before he'll finally return from the cruciate ligament injury that has kept him out since last July.
- Carles Gil is out with a muscle injury but is expected to return next week.
I think New England have improved this year, keeping clean sheets in 3 of their 4 matches, though they lost 4-0 to the future Champs @ LAFC. The match against DC won't be easy but I think DC still have some questions at the back and the midfield gets forward enough for NE to strike on the counter like they prefer. X2 is decent at -150 I'll try the road win here.
