The Major League Soccer returns to the fold this weekend with a new set of matches, with Orlando City taking on DC United on Saturday. Both teams have had strong seasons and will be looking to win this game.
DC United is currently in third place in the MLS Eastern Conference and has outperformed expectations this season. The visitors cruised past Minnesota United earlier this week, and they will be confident heading into this match.
On the other hand, Orlando City is currently in seventh place in the league table and has been inconsistent this season. The hosts drew 2-2 with Nashville SC in their previous match and will need to step up their game this weekend.
