THE PREDICTION
The appointment of former Seattle Sounders assistant manager Gonzalo Pineda, replacing the sacked Gabriel Heinze, has paid dividends for Atlanta United. Their 4-0 win in midweek over Jaap Stam’s Cincinnati saw new signing Luiz Araujo score his first for the club alongside their other star players Ezequiel Barco and a Josef Martinez brace. Atlanta, like Inter Miami in the Eastern Conference, are now mounting a serious playoff challenge after being right down towards the bottom-of-the-table after a significant number of matches. They come up against a DC United side that remain tucked inside the top seven after their 3-0 hammering of lowly Chicago Fire. They are winless in their last three away from home, though, and have won just one of their last eight on the road. Given that, and the form of Atlanta, it is the hosts who come into this as the slight favourites.
