My feeling of optimism preceding Atlanta United games was short lived. In fact, it lasted just one. A promising win against FC Dallas was soon cancelled out by a lackluster loss to the Chicago Fire, and it seems like the win over the Texan side was merely an illusion. Still, a visit to D.C. United, one of the few teams still below Atlanta in the standings, could rekindle some confidence.
The team from the capital is dead-last in the league with 11 points and a lone win in its last nine outings.
