Atlanta, Georgia - In their first ever match-up, the Colorado Rapids square off with Atlanta United F.C. on Saturday night in the Georgian capital.
Here are Three Points to consider ahead of Saturday night’s clash:
1) Welcome to the ATL
Saturday night’s show-down at Bobby Dodd Stadium represents the first ever meeting between the Rapids and Atlanta United F.C., and with an average attendance of nearly 47,000 fans per game at their midtown confines, a raucous atmosphere is expected.
While the Rapids will be looking for their first win on the road, Atlanta have been lethal at home, where the Five Stripes are 4-2-0 this year.
