Atlanta United return home for a tough match-up against the Los Angeles Galaxy this Saturday at Mercedes Benz Stadium. LA currently sit third in the Western Conference while Atlanta sit second in the East. Both teams have experienced significant ups and downs this season and Saturday’s match will be an important test all around.
Despite all the publicity (good and bad) surrounding LA’s Zlatan Ibrahimovic, the superstar will miss this weekend’s match because of yellow card accumulation. Zlatan usually garners most of the Galaxy’s headlines, but their inconsistent form as a team has also grabbed the league’s attention.
