Major League Soccer club DC United will try to hold on to the top spot of Group H in the 2015-2016 CONCACAF Champions League tournament as it faces Jamaican team Montego Bay United at the RFK Stadium in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday.
The match would be the two teams' second in the annual competitions as they faced different outcomes in their openers.
MLS' Eastern Conference leaders blanked Panamanian squad Club Deportivo Árabe Unido, 1-0, in their game on August 19 at the latter's Estadio Maracaná in Panama City. Mexican midfielder Miguel Aguilar scored the lone goal in the match to give the Black and Red three points in the overall standings.
Meanwhile, Seba fell against Árabe Unido, 0-3, in their opening match last August 5 also at the Estadio Maracaná. Carlos Aitor García's boys could not find the net all game long as El Expreso Azul took advantage of their mistakes.
The American squad is highly favored to win this match against the Jamaicans especially that the game will be held at their home field in D.C.
Prediction: A 4-0 rout for DCU. Ben Olsen's team will be virtually unchallenged by their lowly counterparts.
