Atlanta United returns to the pitch on Wednesday for a critical match at Philadelphia Union as the race for a top-four finish in the Eastern Conference intensifies. The 5-Stripes are coming into the match sitting in sixth place in the standings, but only three points behind third place. Philadelphia sits in fourth place, just two points ahead of Atlanta following a draw this past weekend. Both sides are battling for one of the top-four spots in the league that would ensure home-field advantage in the Round One series of the playoffs. With only three matches left in the regular season, every point matters down the stretch.
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.
