Atlanta United vs Chicago Fire: Match Thread and How to Watch

The past couple weeks have seen Atlanta United go into some pretty tough environments, take leads, and then lose said lead to settle for a sole point from each. It’s a mixture of encouragement and disappointment that the Five Stripes will attempt to sort out with a return home to Mercedes-Benz Stadium as they take on an unbeaten in five Chicago Fire.

With Giorgos Giakoumakis and Thiago Almada listed as questionable, it’s up in the air as to what Atlanta’s attack will look like this afternoon, or if either of the two will even start. Franco Ibarra is eligible to return to the midfield after serving his red card suspension, but is also questionable for selection according to the team released eligibility report. We can only speculate how strong of a lineup will Gonzalo Pineda be able to play until the lineup drops approximately an hour before kickoff.
