Atlanta United might be on the verge of a breakthrough (or a meltdown). This weekend’s match is most likely going to show the league whether or not Atlanta are for real. For starters, it’s a home game. Once thought of as an automatic result, playing at home doesn’t carry the same weight so far this season, with the team securing just two points through three home matches.
Second, the Colorado Rapids are arguably the worst team in the league so far this season. Their early-season woes follow two-straight seasons of gaining just 64 points (33 in 2017, 31 in 2018).
