Atlanta United vs CF Montreal: Match Thread and How to Watch

Last Saturday, the Five Stripes came in well above expectation as they throttled the league’s hottest team in front of 71k by a score of five to two. A few days later, a trip to Washington... did not meet those same expectations. A 1-1 draw against D.C. United (albeit with a slightly rotated XI) kept Atlanta United from clinching a playoff spot and reaffirmed just how much power home field advantage, and particularly the atmosphere of Mercedes-Benz Stadium, has on teams.

We’ll see if Atlanta gets their power back tonight, as the Five Stripes welcome CF Montreal to the Benz with hopes of replicating last Saturday more so than Wednesday. Playoff clinching is still on the line with only a win needed to secure a place in the postseason.
