United has more on the line today than simply winning the Atlantic Cup
Today’s Atlantic Cup finale between D.C. United and the New York Red Bulls could see the Black-and-Red jump back into the playoff places with a win. That’s the good news. The bad news is that the Red Bulls have not lost in 10 outings, and they’ve been particularly good at home all season long. United would win the season series with a draw, but at this stage of the season United could really use the confidence boost of delivering a statement win at Red Bull Arena.
