It hasn’t been all that pretty, but Atlanta United has managed a seven match run without a loss, primarily thanks to a cohesive fighting spirit that most recently saw the team salvage a 2-2 draw against NYCFC on Wednesday. One more result would see the squad equalize it’s record of eight games unbeaten.
That fighting spirit will never be as necessary as tonight, as the team visits Red Bull Arena, a place that has historically not yielded positive results for the Five Stripes. The returns of Giorgos Giakoumakis and Thiago Almada will be helpful in potentially seeing Atlanta United through in a place they haven’t seen a victory in since… ever.
