The Five Stripes to lock horns against the Coyotes in the upcoming fixture at Mercedes Benz Stadium.

Atlanta United are set to host bottom-placed Nashville SC in an upcoming Major League Soccer Eastern Conference clash at the iconic Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia. With both teams looking to turn their fortunes around, this fixture will be a crucial opportunity for Atlanta to capitalize on home advantage while Nashville strive to overcome their struggles and secure a much-needed win.

Atlanta United currently sit in 10th place in the Eastern Conference of Major League Soccer, having accumulated 31 points across 27 matches. Their season has been marked by inconsistency, with a string of losses that have significantly hindered their progress. As they look to bounce back, the team aims to capitalize on their upcoming fixture against Nashville, who are rooted at the bottom of the table. With home advantage in their favour, Atlanta United will be determined to not only return to winning ways but also leapfrog Toronto FC in 8th place, should they secure a victory.

Nashville FC, currently languishing at the bottom of the Eastern Conference table in MLS, are enduring a disastrous spell, having gone winless in their recent matches. With only six wins in 27 matches and 13 losses, the team faces an uphill battle, compounded by a dismal goal difference of negative 18. Desperate to halt their decline, Nashville FC will be eager to regain form and pull off a much-needed victory against Atlanta United in their upcoming home fixture. To secure all three points, they will need to summon their fighting spirit and deliver a strong performance.
