LAFC 0-2 DC United, 2022 (regular season)
DC United 0-4 LAFC, 2019
LAFC 1-1 DC United, 2018
Key Player DC United
Although it has not been one of his best seasons, goalkeeper Rafael Romo will have to come out inspired to have a good night in this match and with it try to get a positive result in this complicated visit.
Key player LAFC
Carlos Vela is more than on fire and in the last game he not only scored one of the goals in the victory, but he has been a key factor for LAFC to be at the top of the US league and the Mexican will be looking to continue taking advantage of his good level.

DC United: to make a splash
With three games without a win and last in the Eastern Conference of the MLS, DC United will have to prioritize the defensive sector to try to get a good result, highlighting that the passage of Wayney Rooney as DT of the team is not being as expected as many contemplated before the arrival of the Englishman.
LAFC: for the seventh victory
LAFC is going strong because they have six consecutive wins and are unbeatable in MLS, this Tuesday they will have another consecutive home win because they have just beaten Charlotte FC 5-0, so the DT could be making some changes, but they will be looking for the seventh win in a row.
The Kick-off
The LAFC vs DC United match will be played at the Banc of California Stadium, in Los Angeles, United States. The kick-off is scheduled at 22:40 pm ET.
