D.C. United is down south for a crucial game in the suddenly tight Eastern Conference standings as they take on Atlanta United. MLS’s original United have been in a playoff spot for some time now, but while they’ve closed the distance on the top sides — a win could take them into the top four — Atlanta has closed the distance as well, and in fact is just one point behind the Black-and-Red.
With United unbeaten in three games and Atlanta having won six of seven, this game promises to be a good one.
