Toronto FC continue their busy start to the month in Atlanta on Wednesday evening, as they travel south to take on the reigning MLS Cup champions, Atlanta United.
Atlanta United, much like TFC did last season, are suffering from a bit of an MLS Cup hangover. After eight matches, the Five Stripes are currently 9th in the Eastern Conference standings with 11 points. With a few games in hand, they shouldn’t be too worried yet, but as TFC learned the hard way in 2018, they can’t take any game for granted.
Toronto FC are sitting in 4th place in the Eastern Conference, with 16 points through eight games, but with three games in hand over all three of the teams above them.
