The math is simple: A win on the road against the Chicago Fire on Decision Day would allow D.C. United to host their MLS playoff opener, which would be a midweek knockout round game. United will not want to match the 2017 Houston Dynamo, currently the only team since the beginning of this decade to make the playoffs with just one road win on the season. If Unied fail to win on Sunday, they’ll duplicate that “feat,” and more importantly travel to take on NYCFC or the Philadelphia Union in the middle of next week.
