Decision Day 2021 is on Sunday, and even though Atlanta United are essentially with 1 foot in the MLS Cup Playoffs, it still has much to play for.
A win at FC Cincinnati tomorrow officially seals things for Atlanta, as would losses by the New York Red Bulls, a CF Montréal loss or draw, or Atlanta to beat out Orlando City in goal differential. (Which, considering Atlanta’s GD is +7 and Orlando’s is 0, seems a pretty strong possibility with Atlanta playing Cincinnati. As I said: 1 foot in.)
And an Atlanta win leaves open the possibility of a 4th-place finish and at least 1 playoff match at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
