Atlanta United currently sit eighth in the Eastern Conference and just one point below the playoff line. Both of their opponents sit above them in the conference so this week’s double slate of games is even more important than usual.
Keep in mind that Atlanta are looking for their first-ever win against Toronto FC. Meanwhile, Orlando City have yet to beat Atlanta United despite six attempts. Atlanta have four wins in the series with the other two matches resulting in draws. In three matches hosted by Atlanta (one at Bobby Dodd Stadium, two at Mercedes Benz Stadium), two have resulted in draws with Atlanta’s lone home win coming last June.
