Atlanta United is more than one player. When Josef Martinez was injured, players stepped up and the Five Stripes got results to set up the 11 game unbeaten run they currently enjoy. Still, with Miguel Almiron injured, the team will have to find a way to keep its unrelenting attack going forward and the Peachtree Press as airtight as it has been.
Without a doubt Atlanta United should beat the Philadelphia Union. The Five Stripes carve apart their opponents’ midfields, score goals at will, and showed they can manage a game, while pushing forward relentlessly, against Montreal.
