After holding one of the three remaining unbeaten teams in MLS to a draw last week, Atlanta has the chance to go one better when it hosts Nashville. The Southern match-up is the last game before a three-week international break and what better way to end the month than with three points?
Nashville, however, promises to be a stern test for Gabriel Heinze’s side. It’s building off an impressive expansion campaign where the Music City finished 7th and made a run to the Eastern Conference semifinals. Nashville is yet to lose through six rounds this season, though it has twice as many draws (4) as wins (2).
