We’ve made it to the final match of the 2020 MLS regular season, and still nothing is certain for Atlanta United. The Five Stripes find themselves 11th in the Eastern Conference, just one place under the dreaded red line of playoff elimination. Whether Atlanta joins in the playoff party or watches from home for the first time in franchise history will be determined by Decision Day action and a trip to Columbus, Ohio.
Step one for Atlanta United to make the jump over the line: don’t lose. Only a loss secures elimination for the team in this scenario.
