DC United team news

Despite the hosts' victory in the last game, they face a significant challenge with top scorer Christian Benteke sidelined due to an ankle injury, alongside several other absences for both injury and international duty. This puts added pressure on players like Gabriel Pirani, who scored and assisted in the last match, and Mateusz Klich to step up offensively.

Chicago Fire FC team news

Chicago come off an impressive 3-1 win at Orlando City, with Philip Zinckernagel and Hugo Cuypers leading the attack—Cuypers netted a rapid brace in that match.

The Fire have been particularly effective on the road this season, with five away wins already, and have scored 20 of their 28 goals away from home. However, they are also missing key players due to injuries and international call-ups, including Chris Brady and Omari Glasgow.
