Major League Soccer returns with a fresh set of fixtures as DC United and Nashville lock horns at Audi Field on Saturday. B.J. Callaghan’s men head into the weekend unbeaten in their last six away matches across all competitions and will be looking to extend this impressive run.

DC United continue to struggle for results at the wrong end of the Eastern Conference table as they fell to a 2-0 loss at the hands of Real Salt Lake last time out.

Troy Lesesne’s side have failed to win four of their most recent five games, claiming one draw and losing three, including a heavy 7-1 home defeat against Chicago Fire.

DC United have picked up 18 points from their 19 MLS matches so far to sit 12th in the East, only above CF Montreal, Toronto FC and Atlanta United.

Callaghan’s men have now gone 12 straight games without defeat across all competitions, claiming eight wins and four draws since a 3-0 defeat against Seattle Sounders on April 20.

This blistering run of results has seen Nashville surge into third place in the Eastern Conference table with 35 points from 19 games, five points behind first-placed Philadelphia Union.
