Atlanta United’s formation switch-inspired resurgence is about to face perhaps its biggest test yet. The Five Stripes have already done admirably to pick up six points out of six available against Philadelphia and Montreal, but in order to extend that streak it’ll have to survive on the road against New England Revolution in a rare midweek MLS matchday
New England sits third in the East with 37 points, just two ahead of Atlanta. Bruce Arena’s side boasts the 3rd best attack (36 goals scored) and 5th best defense (27 conceded) in the East and has been consistently racking up points all season, with the exception of one slow patch in May that is now firmly in the rearview mirror after 3 wins from 4 in June.
