DC United
DC United come into the match in rough shape. They've been a heavily one-dimensional attacking side for years, but they've had the luxury to rely on Christian Benteke for goals. The Belgium international is maybe the most singularly dominant aerial threat MLS has ever seen, winning last year's Golden Boot almost solely on his ability to posterize defenders in the box.
