Though MLS is on a break right now, D.C. United are not. This Wednesday, the U.S. Open Cup continues, and D.C. United are taking on Orlando City SC at the Maryland SoccerPlex. With MLS not resuming until 10 days after this game, Ben Olsen will likely use this matchup to keep his starters fresh and to try and get into a winning groove as the long homestand approaches.
The main question is on the back line, where most of the players have had shaky moments.
