Atlanta United are still in control of their chase for the Supporters’ Shield. The path to the club’s first trophy is, though, a little more difficult after last weekend’s defeat to the New York Red Bulls.
It starts this Saturday at home against the New England Revolution. While Atlanta fights for a trophy, New England will be battling for a spot in this year’s playoffs. The club missed out on the playoffs last year and, after a strong start to this season under new coach Brad Friedel, the club has stumbled to the end of the season.
