Atlanta placed second in the Eastern Conference in both the 2018 and 2019 seasons, although in their last three seasons, they have ended 12th, fifth, and 11th overall while placing 23rd in the MLS last season.
Gonzalo Pineda's team was not anticipated to have much of an impact on the division this season, but they are currently fifth in the Eastern Conference with 25 points after 17 games and a record of six wins, seven draws, and four losses. This has been a promising start for Gonzalo Pineda's team.
Atlanta will enter this match with a five-game winning streak that began on May 18 with a 4-0 victory against Colorado Rapids, although they have drawn their last four league games. The Five Stripes will enter this game off the back of a goalless draw with Los Angeles FC on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, DC United will come into this game after a 2-1 victory over Inter Miami, who have since fired head coach Phil Neville and announced the signing of a certain Lionel Messi.
Last time out, Wayne Rooney's club scored goals from Donovan Pines and Christian Benteke, and the victory gave them 23 points after 17 games, placing them in seventh place in the standings.
DC United were 14th in the Eastern Conference last season, but this early in the season, they are only four points behind New England Revolution in fourth place, which is a promising sign.
The Black and Reds have a weak road record this season, picking up just 11 points from nine games, but they will be visiting an Atlanta team with a solid home record, amassing 17 points from eight games.
