After spending last weekend on the West Coast, the first match for Atlanta since the Leagues Cup break, Atlanta United kicks off Saturday a little closer to home. On the trip to California, the 5-Stripes competed for about 60 minutes of the match, then the match shifted and the Western Conference leaders took over to win 2-0.
Before Leagues Cup break, Charlotte FC put together two solid results against two of the East's top teams: a draw with Columbus and a win over FC Cincinnati. But, like Atlanta, Charlotte didn't make it out of the group stage of Leagues Cup.
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.
