The Union’s playoff journey continues in Atlanta tonight, where the Union will look to advance to the Eastern Conference Final. They’ll have to defeat the defending MLS Cup champs to do so, a feat made less intimidating when you remember that the Union haven’t lost to Atlanta United all season.
In their last meeting in August, the Union eked out three points thanks to late goals from Sergio Santos and Kacper Przybylko. When the two sides met at Mercedes-Benz Stadium back in March, a Brenden Aaronson goal ensured that the Union left with a point.
Both sides come into this third encounter with significant injuries.
