Atlanta United vs Memphis 901, 2023 U.S. Open Cup: Match Preview

Atlanta United’s Open Cup campaign is set to begin with a blast from the past. The Five Stripes are on a collision course with Stephen Glass’ Memphis 901 in the Third Round, along with a trio of ex-Atlanta United players and its 2020 interim manager.

Memphis plies its trade in the USL Championship, where it sits 11th out of 12 teams in the Eastern Conference on 5 points through 5 matches. Stephen Glass’ debut campaign has gotten off to a rough start, especially compared to the success of the past few seasons in which Memphis finished 3rd and 2nd, making it all the way to the semi-finals last year.
