Prediction

  • 2013 was so disappointing for DC United that Ben Olsen has brought in an entirely new backline for the upcoming campaign. He's also traded for a new frontline, with Eddie Johnson and Fabian Espindola coming in from Seattle and New York respectively.
  • For Columbus Crew the new season marks a new era for the franchise. The return of Michael Parkhurst to MLS should give the Crew more of a presence at the back, and with Dominic Oduro leading the line, counter attacks are always a threat.
  • DC United have done a good job of rebuilding over the off-season, but it could take some time for Olsen's team to gel.
