D.C. United has become one of the most talked-about teams in MLS these days, thanks in part to a six-game unbeaten streak during which they’ve scored 16 goals. It’ll be a statement if they can carry that high-scoring form on past today, because they’re up against one of the best defensive teams in MLS. FC Dallas has conceded just one goal in their last four games, and like United they haven’t lost since August.
United will be missing several regulars, but they’ll only be missing one bona fide starter in midfielder Junior Moreno. Dallas has one fewer international call-up, but they’ll be without two starters.
