DC United (5-14-3) are coming into this match after yet another disappointing loss, this time by 0-4 on the road in the hands of Minnesota United. They conceded twice in each half, and were never really in a position to compete for any points in that match. They have now lost each of their last 7 matches in all competitions, having conceded 20 goals in that span, against just 7 scored. They are still sitting at the bottom of the Eastern Conference with just 18 points after 22 matches, featuring both the worst offense with just 18 goals, and the worst defense with 42 conceded. They have been quite mediocre at home so far (3-5-2), where they have actually lost just one of their last 4 matches in all competitions (2-1-1). They will be coming into this match with just a couple of injury concerns, as Rob Vincent and Ian Harkes have been ruled out, while Patrick Nyarko is still listed as questionable to participate.
