Luke Brennan gets a start in the first half finale! Miggy on the bench, and Atlanta runs out a backline more similar to the first Orlando match than the second. Miranchuk false 9, Jay-Cooper-Muyumba midfield. Can Atlanta go into the break on a high note?
Atlanta United's starting XI at Orlando City tonight. On paper looks like a back three but may well see Baez drop back next to Berrocal for a traditional back 4. Matías Galarza getting his first start at LW for Atlanta.
Miguel Almiron is "day-to-day" as he continues to recover from a knee injury, Tata Martino said today. "Miguel trained inside with the physios ... We're continuing to monitor him, and we'll decide if it's best for him to play this weekend or wait another week." #ATLUTD
Remember 2017 and 2018? Atlanta United packed out the Benz and set attendance records left and right. Now we're left with what we saw last night - an announced attendance of just over 30,000. It looked far less than that. The way this team is playing, though, it shouldn't be a surprise.
