DC United vs Nashville preview

Nashville were on a good run of form as they went five games without defeat before they were beaten by Sporting Kansas City recently.

The visitors may be without Randall Leal, Teal Bunbury and Robert Castellanos heading into this game, which will be a big blow.

However, they will be determined to get the win this time out to help lift them to fourth in the division.

DC United, meanwhile, are on an abysmal run and are missing Adrien Perez, Moses Nyeman and Chris Odoi-Atsem for this match.

A win is a necessity for United, who are without a win in each of their last six matches.
