Lineups

Squad Ratings

The overall squad rating for Nashville SC is 6.96, compared to 6.72 for DC United. This metric is derived from each player's average match rating across all league appearances this season — anything above 7.00 is considered strong, while below 6.50 signals inconsistency. Nashville SC's highest-rated starter is P. Yazbek (7.13), while DC United's best-rated player is M. Peltola (7.11).

Attacking Output

The starting XI of Nashville SC have contributed 6 goals and 8 assists this season, led by H. Mukhtar (3G). DC United's starters account for 5 goals and 5 assists, spearheaded by J. Hopkins (2G). Goals reflect clinical finishing and chance creation, while assists highlight the ability to unlock defences through through-balls, crosses, and set pieces.

Defensive Solidity

Nashville SC deploy 4 defenders rated 6.95 on average, against DC United's 4-man backline averaging 6.62. Higher defensive ratings suggest better positional awareness, fewer individual errors, and a greater likelihood of keeping clean sheets. The rating accounts for tackles won, interceptions, aerial duels, and blocks throughout the season.

Midfield Control

Nashville SC field 5 midfielders averaging 6.96, versus DC United's 5 rated 6.84. Midfield ratings reflect passing accuracy, interceptions, key passes, and overall control of possession — the team that dominates midfield typically dictates the tempo and territory of the match.

Forward Threat

Nashville SC start 1 forward(s) averaging —, compared to 1 for DC United averaging 6.43. Forward ratings capture shot accuracy, movement off the ball, dribbling success, and involvement in build-up play — they indicate who carries the greater goal threat on the day.

Passing & Build-Up

Passing accuracy averages 85% for Nashville SC and 66% for DC United. Higher passing accuracy generally indicates a possession-based style with patient build-up through the thirds, while lower figures may suggest a more direct, counter-attacking approach with long balls and quick transitions.

Discipline

Nashville SC's starters have collected 10 yellow cards this season, compared to 13 for DC United. Yellow cards reflect how aggressively a team presses and tackles — a high count may indicate a physical, high-pressing style but also risks suspensions and late free-kicks in dangerous areas.

Age & Experience

The average age of Nashville SC's starting XI is 27.9 (youngest: A. Qasem (22), oldest: J. Willis (37)), while DC United average 24.6 (youngest: J. Hopkins (21), oldest: C. Antley (30)). Younger squads typically offer pace, energy, and pressing intensity, while experienced lineups bring composure, game management, and the ability to handle high-pressure moments.

Squad Depth

Nashville SC's starters average 8 league appearances each, versus 11 for DC United. High appearance counts indicate an established, well-drilled unit that the manager trusts week in and week out. Lower figures may suggest rotation, injuries, or emerging players still earning their place in the team.
