Here’s what to make of Atlanta United when it comes to the regular season
With only one game remaining in the regular season, Atlanta United are a point outside the playoffs, which were expanded to 10 teams in the Eastern Conference this season. Atlanta plays Columbus on Sunday, who are vying for the fourth place spot and a chance at a bye in the first round. Atlanta did not make Sunday’s match easy, and instead recently squandered points against D.C. United, Toronto, and Miami. That string of three matches left the Five Stripes with only a point from nine.
