Atlanta United visits the Columbus Crew for the first time this season. Both clubs have started the 2023 season with opposite results. Atlanta United has gone unbeaten in their first two matches of the season, beating San Jose Earthquakes in the home opener and drawing Toronto FC last weekend. Charlotte FC on the other hand will be looking for their first result of the season on Saturday after two straight losses to New England Revolution and expansion club St. Louis CITY SC. Charlotte FC has lost three straight, going back to last season, and will be hungry to get a result at home.
The two sides have met two times in MLS history in Charlotte FC's inaugural season in 2022. The clubs split the series with each side winning at home. In the first meeting in March, and the first-ever meeting between the clubs, Atlanta United defended the Crown and beat Charlotte FC 2-1 with a late stoppage-time goal from Jake Mulraney. Then, in the second meeting in April, Charlotte evened the series with a 1-0 win at home.
Atlanta United joined Major League Soccer in 2017 and won the 2018 MLS Cup in just its second season, the earliest an expansion team has won the title since 1998. The club has set multiple league records including season tickets sales (36,000-plus), single-season average (53,002) and total home attendance (901,033). Owned by Arthur M. Blank, Atlanta United plays its home matches at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. For more information about Atlanta United, including how to purchase season tickets, visit: www.atlutd.com.
