It used to be that D.C. United was the team that Atlanta United could never beat. After the Five Stripes dropped all three meetings in 2017, it finally got off the mat against Ben Olsen’s group with a pair of home wins in 2018. (It still hasn’t beaten D.C. on the road, though; let’s forget that game in March and pretty much every game it’s played in the District.) But this edition might have the highest stakes as just two points separate them for second and third in the East, while Atlanta holds a match in hand.
