For DC United, Christian Baribo also has 14 goals, in fewer matches, so their attack isn't toothless even if results have been inconsistent. Cincinnati's Miazga and Fletcher, along with DC United's Rowles, are listed as questionable, but with the match still some weeks away, their eventual availability isn't yet clear.

How this could play out

Given Cincinnati's attacking output and defensive leaks, alongside DC United's habit of drawing games rather than losing them, this has the ingredients for goals from both sides rather than a cagey affair.

History between these two backs that up somewhat, with several matches producing goals for both teams, though not every recent meeting followed that pattern.
