After a week to regret New York City’s late equalizer that snatched a tie from the jaws of victory, Atlanta United is back in action with a midweek tilt against Inter Miami. The Five Stripes barely managed to keep ahold of its playoff spot thanks to Toronto FC’s draw with CF Montreal (special thanks to Jozy Altidore) but another stumble could prove fatal. Inter Miami, though not technically eliminated from playoff contention yet, will be hoping to play the role of spoiler when it visits the Benz Wednesday evening.
Miami’s season has been on a steady downhill trend since a late summer winning streak was halted back in September.
