DC United is finally back before the home fans at Audi Field tonight when they take on Toronto FC in league play. It’s the first time in nine weeks that the Black-and-Red have played at home, and they bring a point back from a 1-1 midweek road draw against the Houston Dynamo.

“All games are so tough and I think both teams, they have more or less the same level,” René Weiler said about the team’s upcoming match against Toronto. “So yeah, we try to be better than they are and to win this game.”

DC United is clinging to the 9th and final playoff position in the Eastern Conference, but Toronto is just 3 points behind them. DC United head coach René Weiler hopes that his guys are able to recover quickly from the midweek road match in sweltering Houston and are ready to provide heavy minutes against Toronto.

“Fresh legs and fresh heads, very important. But we play at home, the temperatures will be different, so less hot and we play in the evening,” Weiler said. “So no, they are young players and they are able to recover well and to play another game three days later.”

They hope to give the fans something to celebrate tonight at Audi Field, but they will have to put together a complete game against the team from The 6.
