The MLS is back in action with another set of matches this weekend as Atlanta United take on DC United at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Saturday. Both teams have been inconsistent this season and have a point to prove this weekend.

DC United are in ninth place in the MLS Eastern Conference standings and have not been at their best over the past year. The away side played out a 2-2 draw against Philadelphia Union last week and will need to take it up a notch in this fixture.

Atlanta United, on the other hand, are in 10th place in the league table and have been in poor form this season. The hosts eased past Charlotte Independence by a comfortable 3-0 scoreline in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this weekend.
