As the Colorado Rapids head to face Atlanta United FC they will be entering uncharted territory having never played in the new home of Atlanta. The Rapids have only faced the reigning MLS Champions twice in their young history. The last time the two sides met in the Peach State was June 24, 2017 at Bobby Dodd Stadium (Atlanta's interim home) while their permanent home, Mercedes-Benz Stadium, was being constructed.
Atlanta United are 16-4-8 during the regular season at home since the stadium opened in August 2017. However, just four months after lifting the MLS Cup in the same stadium, Frank de Boer's men have yet to secure three points at home in 2019.
