Atlanta United will look to get back to winning ways as they host New England Revolution on Sunday.
Atlanta United scored two early goals and raced to a commanding lead in the US Open Cup Round of 32 match against Nashville SC before collapsing in the second half and losing the game 3-2.
They've struggled with injuries all season but enjoyed their best win last weekend as they thrashed Chicago 4-1.
Ronaldo Cisneros scored a first-half hat-trick and Brooks Lennon added one in second-half stoppage time to help Gonzalo Pineda's side pick up their fourth win of the season against Chicago.
After the win over Chicago, Pineda discussed the unprecedented injury crisis that has hit his side this season. He said:
"I have never seen something this bad. I would say in terms of injuries, I have had some years, whether I was a player or a coach in Seattle, where we had a couple of long-term injuries as well, but nothing like this, especially not in the first 10 games of the season."
For now, Atlanta United will be content to sit seventh in the MLS Eastern Conference table with 14 points from 10 matches.
Meanwhile, New England Revolution have been a shadow of themselves since the 2021 season. They are currently languishing at 11th in the Eastern Conference table after having picked up just three wins from their first 10 matches.
They have had some major injury concerns as well. Henry Kessler and Andrew Farrell, their first-choice centre-backs, were unavailable for the opening phase of the season. Adam Buksa and Gustavo Bou's absence in the early part of the campaign did not help either.
Buksa's form since returning has been reassuring and he was on the scoresheet as Bruce Arena's side held Columbus Crew to a 2-2 draw last weekend.
Carles Gil scored a hat-trick and Buksa bagged a brace as New England Revolution beat Cincinnati FC 5-1 in the US Open Cup round of 32. They will look to carry that momentum into Sunday's game as they travel to the Mercedez-Benz Stadium to take on Atlanta United.
