October is here, and with it comes the final two matches of Atlanta United’s 2022 season - unless. Even despite everything - most of it bad - that’s happened in the past seven months, the Five Stripes still have an outside shot at a playoff spot but it’s going to take all six points and then some. Gonzalo Pineda and Co. have two chances to steal a postseason berth, starting with a visit to the New England Revolution Saturday afternoon.
Like Atlanta, New England’s season is on its last legs and anything less than two wins from two will spell a premature end to the reigning Supporters Shield champions.
