Two sides separated by just two points in the Eastern Conference standings will up against each other on Wednesday night as fifth-placed Atlanta United play host to third-placed New England Revolution in a Major League Soccer fixture at Mercedes-Benz Arena. The hosts have collected 23 points from 15 games, while New England, who are sitting two places above them have a game in hand and 25 points to their name, eight adrift of leaders Cincinnati. Atlanta are heading into the match on the back of a three-game unbeaten run, while the visitors are winless in their last four matches, recording three successive defeats in the period.
Atlanta United came from behind to secure a 1-1 draw against Orlando City last weekend, thanks to Tyler Wolff’s 86th-minute equaliser at Exploria Stadium. Following a three-match losing streak across April and early May, Gonzalo Pineda’s men appear to have rediscovered some form, taking five points from their previous three outings. After thrashing Colorado Rapids 4-0, thanks to goals from Thiago Almada, Luiz Araujo, Wolff and Giorgos Giakoumakis, Atlanta played out a thrilling 3-3 draw with Chicago Fire before sharing the spoils against seventh-placed Orlando City last time out. Meanwhile, the Five Stripes have been brilliant at home, winning five of their seven league-games at Mercedes-Benz Arena this season, suffering a solitary defeat along the way, and they have netted 16 goals in front of their own supporters in 2023.
New England, on the other hand, fought back from 2-0 down to secure a 3-3 draw against Chicago last time out, thanks to goals from Noel Buck, Bobby Wood and Jozy Altidore. The result ended their three-game losing run across al competitions, not scoring a single goal in three successive defeats against Pittsburgh, Inter Miami and Philadelphia Union. After losing just one of their first 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. Meanwhile, the Revs have recorded seven league-wins this term and their last success came against Toronto earlier this month thanks to two unanswered goals from Bobby Wood and DeJuan Jones.
The previous meeting between these two sides was back in October last year and the match ended 2-1 in favour of New England courtesy of goals from Giacomo Vrioni and Gustavo Bou either side of Josef Martinez’s equaliser. It was the Revs’ third victory against the Five Stripes in 11 meetings across all competitions. Meanwhile Atlanta have prevailed on five occasions against New England but their last success came way back in 2019 in the MLS Cup playoffs.
