The MLS All-Star Game has come and gone and thankfully all five Atlanta United participants returned healthy. The push toward the playoffs begins now with a match-up of two teams in the thick of their respective conference races.
The Los Angeles Galaxy come to town without Zlatan Ibrahimovic who is serving a one-match suspension due to yellow card accumulation. What does that mean? Well, frankly it means that Atlanta should be winning this match and taking full points. When a team is overly reliable one one player and that player isn’t playing, you should be beating them, especially at home.
