D.C. United are hoping to make it back-to-back wins and earn a measure of revenge for a lopsided home loss when they take Atlanta United at Mercedes-Benz Stadium Saturday afternoon.
Atlanta (5W-10L-4D) sit a point below the playoff line in the East after a 1-0 loss to Toronto FC Sunday night that extended a winless streak to four games, while D.C. United (3W-10L-6D) snapped a nine-match winless run with a 2-1 victory at FC Cincinnati Sunday.
This is the second meeting this year with Atlanta United celebrating a 4-0 win at Audi Field Oct. 3. Jon Gallagher struck for a brace and Brooks Lennon had a goal and two assists in Atlanta's most lopsided win of the season.
