Atlanta United awaits FC Cincinnati on Wednesday night at their Mercedes-Benz Stadium. The Five Stripes looked good following the Leagues Cup pause, but now they have to face the East Conference leaders, who are playing superbly this year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Five Stripes had two MLS games following their unsuccessful Leagues Cup adventure. Gonzalo Pineda’s crew triumphed in both, beating, at first, the Seattle Sounders on the road 0-2 and, after that, Nashville SC, 4-0. As you can see, they haven’t allowed a single goal during these 180 minutes, which only makes their triumphs even more dominant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Atlanta is in a must-win situation because of the playoff race, with them sitting sixth in the East, yet not that far away from the competitors who are either in the play-in zone or out of the same. In 13 home appearances this year, we’ve seen this unit winning eight times, having three ties and two defeats, with a 31-15 goal difference.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
