D.C. United hosts Orlando City tonight in a game that feels more vital for both sides than a typical mid-August match. The Black-and-Red sit 12 points out of the playoff places, but have 6 games in hand on Montreal. With three home games in the next seven days, the door is open for United to vault back into contention, but only if they take full advantage. The Lions, meanwhile, are mired in a horrific 1W-1D-12L run in MLS play, and are going to be without numerous starters. If they don’t stop the rot soon, it’s hard to see them recovering at all.
