Your match referee is Baldomero Toledo...hold on to your butts.
In an attempt to think positive, DC United has to deal with Toledo too. So there's that.
Several big questions for Ben Olsen and United on the injury front. Chris Pontius, Marcelo Saragosa, Brandon McDonald are all questionable and considering all three had to leave the first leg at various points, it will be interesting to see if Olsen risk them and having to make unplanned subs again. Dwayne De Rosario is listed as probable and ha been training. Andy Najar is again suspended.
Adam Moffat is the only player definitely out for the Dynamo. Rico and Calen Carr are questionable, while Jermaine Taylor is probable.
