The two 2017 MLS expansion teams meet up for the first time this season. Both teams are looking to bounce back from losses last week. Here are three things to watch for on Sunday’s game:
1. Minnesota’s back line
Atlanta’s attack looked dangerous in their opener against the Red Bulls, and Minnesota’s defense will need to be ready. The question is, how will the back four look, particularly the right back position? Swiss Right back Jèrôme Thiesson is en route to Minnesota, but it is unclear whether he will start, considering he’ll have only been in Minnesota for a few days before the match.
