Before Atlanta United plays their first-ever playoff game tomorrow, there’s two matches tonight to get out of the way first. The MLS Cup playoffs begin with two interesting match-ups.
First off, the East offers us a tasty 3 vs. 6 battle between the Chicago Fire and New York Red Bulls. Two proud MLS franchises with talented players face off. The result of this match will determine who Atlanta United plays should they make it past Columbus on Thursday. If Chicago wins, Atlanta would be guaranteed to play Toronto FC in the semifinals and if the Red Bulls win, Atlanta would play NYCFC.
