Atlanta United will host New England Revolution in a Major League Soceer fixture at Mercedes-Benz Arena on Wednesday night. Both sides are heading into the match on the back of draws last weekend, with the hosts sharing the spoils against Orlando City (1-1), while New England Revolution came from 2-0 down to rescue 3-3 draw with Chicago United. As of now, the Five Stripes are occupying fifth spot in the Eastern Conference standings, having collected 23 points from 15 games, while the visitors, who have a game in hand, are sitting at the third position, separated by just two points.
Atlanta United earned a point against Orlando City courtesy of Tyler Woff’s 86th-minute equaliser. It was their second consecutive draw, while the Five Stripes have taken five points from their last three outings. Gonzalo Pineda’s men recorded six league-wins this season and their last success came against Colorado courtesy of four unanswered goals from Thiago Almada, Luiz Araujo, Wolff and Giorgos Giakoumakis. Meanwhile, Atlanta have won five of their seven league-games at home this season, suffering a solitary defeat along the way, and they have netted 16 goals at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in 2023. Atlanta’s impressive performances in front of goal has been largely due to the former Celtic striker Giakoumakis and Argentine playmaker Almada. Giakoumakis has netted 8 goals in 11 MLS appearances this term, while Almada has recorded six goals and eight assists so far.
New England Revolution showed great fighting spirit to earn a point against Chicago last time out thanks to goals from Noel Buck, Bobby Wood and Jozy Altidore. The result ended their three-game losing run. After losing just one of their 11 league outings, while picking up seven wins, the Revs have let their performances slip up, taking just one point from their last four outings. Nevertheless, Bruce Arena’s side boast one of the best defensive record in the Eastern Conference, having conceded only 17 goals thus far.
Atlanta United probable starting lineup: Guzan, Hernandez, Robinson, Sanchez, Gutman, Rossetto, Sosa, Lennon, Almada, Etienne, Giakoumakis
New England Revolution probable starting lineup: Petrovic, Farrell, Romney, Makoun, Jones, Polster, Buck, Boateng, Blessing, Vrioni, Wood
