Opponent Profile: D.C. United brings veteran side to Toyota Park

Veljko Paunovic hit the road during his side’s idle weekend, traveling to the nation’s capital Saturday to watch firsthand as D.C. United easily handled the New England Revolution, 3-0, at RFK Stadium.

United flashed plenty of qualities that Paunovic and his staff will be preparing for in advance of Saturday’s matchup between the Chicago Fire (1-2-3, 6 points) and D.C. United (2-3-3, 8 points) at Toyota Park (4 p.m. CT, CSN Chicago).

“They have good individual quality, they have also experienced players, many of them are playing long time together so that’s a great advantage for their team,” Paunovic said.
