Atlanta United has turned a rapidly decaying 2022 season around, or at least started too. The Five Stripes recouped from a 3-0 shellacking at the hands of Austin with a win over RSL and a draw that should have been three points against Orlando. Gonzalo Pineda’s side have a chance to further prove its improvement and make a statement on the road at a reeling LA Galaxy this weekend.
LA started the season hot but has since faded drastically in Greg Vanney’s second year in charge. His debut campaign followed a similar path, with the exception that the drop off came later in the season.
