For those who have been unable to access Atlanta United matches on the regional FOX networks, you’re in luck: tonight’s match won’t be on either of them. Instead, the game will be broadcast on FS1, the first national TV appearance for the Five Stripes since their last trip to Orlando back on September 5th.
This one will carry higher stakes than the last couple meetings, where Atlanta was able to earn draws out of the currently fourth place Orlando City. Atlanta, still outside the playoffs with only three matches to go, will urgently need points or risk getting left behind by other Eastern Conference basement dwellers.
