We said: DC United 1-2 FC Cincinnati
DC United need no lessons in making their attacking phases count, but it is a different story for Rooney's charges at the other end of the field, and a third successive loss is surely on the cards.
Cincinnati are missing several members of their forward line for various reasons, but the league leaders should still march on with a win here - even if their inconsistent away form and midweek fatigue means it is not as emphatic as first hoped.
