Atlanta United’s four game home stand began almost one month ago, with yet another new manager and a lackluster 2-0 loss to Nashville SC. The next three games, though, showed a completely revitalized Five Stripes, breezing through opponents with a combined score of 10-2.
Now Gonzalo Pineda leads Atlanta on the road for the first time, travelling to Philadelphia for a midafternoon meeting with the Union, who sit just one point behind United in the Eastern Conference standings. Philadelphia most recently played Atlanta back on June 20th, scoring at the death to tie 2-2 at the Benz.
