The Five Stripes will take on the Sounders in the Major League Soccer.

Atlanta United aim to bring an end to its winless stretch when they welcome Seattle Sounders to Mercedes-Benz Stadium for Major League Soccer action this weekend. The Five Stripes come into this encounter without a victory in each of their last six outings.

The 2025 MLS campaign has been a turbulent one for Atlanta, who now face the very real prospect of its worst regular-season finish since entering the top flight. In the Eastern Conference, they have played 23 games in which they have won four, drawn eight and lost 11 games. The players don’t look very confident on the pitch, but surely they will have to be at their best to win at home against a tough opposition.

Seattle Sounders didn’t have a good campaign in the FIFA Club World Cup, but in the MLS, they are performing really well and getting points consistently. They do have some key players out due to injuries, but that will not be a major concern for them as they have backup players who can make the difference on the field. Sounders, despite being the away side, will be the favourites to win this fixture.

In the Western Conference, they have played 23 games, in which they won 10, drew seven and lost six games. Even though they will face a team who are not having a great season, the Sounders will have to be at their best to get points. This will be a mouthwatering clash for sure.

Kick-Off:

• Location: Atlanta, USA
• Stadium: Mercedes-Benz Stadium
• Date: Sunday, 27 July
• Kick-Off Time: 05:00 AM IST

Players to Watch

Miguel Almiron (Atlanta United)

The Paraguayan is an integral part of Atlanta United, and this is his second stint with the club. The first stint lasted for three years, and after some time in the Premier League, he is back to help Atlanta United in the MLS.

Even though things are not going as planned with him, as overall performance of the team has been very poor. Almiron is a versatile player who can play on the wings and also as an attacking midfielder. He will have to be at his best to help his team win the upcoming fixtures.

In 21 games this season, he has scored three goals and provided three assists.

Jesus Ferreira (Seattle Sounders)

The American international is a key player in the Sounders, and this is his first season with the club. Despite being short in stature, he is strong, quick and agile. He can play on the wings as well as a striker.

Ferreira is a clinical finisher who doesn’t need many opportunities to score and is always a big threat inside the penalty area. Even though statistically his season is not going that well, but still his overall impact on the team is quite good. In 21 games, he has scored three goals and provided four assists.
