Atlanta United host Nashville at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Saturday for a clash in the MLS, desperate to end their three-game losing run in the competition. Following a 1-1 draw with FC Dallas, the Five Stripes lost consecutively to New England Revolution (1-0), Philadelphia Union (3-0) and Orlando City (3-0).
Indeed, it's been a lackadaisical start to Atlanta's 2025 league season, winning just twice from their opening 10 games, while losing on exactly half the occasions.
With just nine points in the bag from 10 games, Ronny Deila's side are down in 12th position in the Eastern Conference standings. Only DC United, Toronto and Montreal have fared worse than Atlanta at this stage.
Meanwhile, Nashville are up in sixth place in the table, having seen a better campaign so far. In fact, they are coming off the back of an emphatic 7-2 victory over Chicago Fire last weekend. Samuel Surridge scored a sensational quadruple while Hany Mukhtar fired a brace. Jeison Palacios was among the goals too.
Trending
It was a splendid return to form after going down 3-0 to Seattle Sounders in the week before. However, consistency has been lacking from their game, and it will be interesting to see if Nashville can secure another win after such a stellar showing last time out.
