DC United vs Colorado Rapids Preview

DC United Preview

Things aren’t looking good for the Black and Red, who suffered a heavy 3-0 loss to Philadelphia last week. That result makes it five defeats in their last six league matches, with DC now sitting 13th in the East. Defensively, they’ve been one of the league’s worst—conceding 22 goals in just 10 matches. Injuries have played a part, with key players like Christian Benteke and Joao Peglow missing, while defender Kye Rowles is suspended this weekend. Scoring has also dried up at Audi Field, where DC have just one win in their last nine.

DC United Starting Lineup: Barraza; Bartlett, MacNaughton, Antley; Herrera, Servania, Pirani, Schnegg; Stroud, Karamoko, Murrell

Colorado Rapids Preview

The Rapids are quietly one of the more consistent road teams in 2025. Chris Armas’s men are unbeaten in four of their five away matches and come into this game off a gritty 1-1 draw with Seattle. Djordje Mihailovic is in excellent form with five goals already, and Zack Steffen returns in goal from suspension. Colorado have built their success by striking early—scoring first in nearly all their wins—and are yet to lose a match after netting in the first half.

Colorado Rapids Starting Lineup: Steffen; Cannon, Maxso, Awaziem, Travis; Larraz, Atencio; Bassett, Mihailovic; Cabral, Navarro

Djordje Mihailovic Anytime Goalscorer @ +230 (BetMGM) – Mihailovic has scored in three of his last five games and continues to be Colorado’s biggest attacking threat.

Mateusz Klich Over 2.5 Shots @ -105 (DraftKings) – With Benteke sidelined, expect Klich to take on more of the offensive load for DC.
