Atlanta United on Wednesday will take the Mercedes-Benz Stadium field for the first time since Oct. 9 when it welcomes Deportiva Toluca F.C. to town for the American Family Insurance Cup. Sure, it’s a “friendly”, and sure, it’s essentially a night specifically designed for Atlanta to reveal its 2023 and 2024 home kit, but don’t think that the competitive juices won’t be flowing in a match just 10 days prior to the MLS season opener against the San Jose Earthquakes.
And while Atlanta have faced Liga MX teams 3 times at the friendly confines of the Benz, all 3 times have seen it come out on top.
