Atlanta United 2 returns to the fraction to take on Memphis 901 FC, a team that is quickly becoming a despise nemesis of our young club. These players just don’t like each other. Memphis plays with a lot of physicality and want to frustrate opponents into making mistakes they can capitalize on through counterattacks. With these teams meeting for the third time so far this season, there was going to be a lot of bad blood on display.
After playing just one half together Wednesday night, Jack Collison runs out the same starting field player group with Alec Kann replacing Rocco Ríos Novo in goal in preparation for his expected 2021 MLS season debut next week while first-team starter Brad Guzan is away on international duty at the CONCACAF Gold Cup.
