Pre-Match: After a miserable preseason and an even worse season opener, Atlanta United finally come home to play in front of what should be a boisterous crowd. While it’s nice to be home, picking up that first win of the season won’t be easy with familiar foe D.C. United coming to town.
While being one of the worst teams in the entire league last season, Ben Olsen’s side somehow managed to defeat Atlanta three different times in their inaugural side. They are the perennial thorn in the Five Stripes’ side with their defend first, counter-attacking style.
