Atlanta United (5-1-0) will try to make it six wins in a row this week in the premier match of the MLS weekend, hosting NYCFC (5-0-1) in a clash between the top two teams in the Supporters’ Shield race this year. The Five Stripes come in full of confidence, and showed in last week’s 5-0 demolition of LAFC that they can take down anyone on their home field at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. But they face what is sure to be their stiffest test of the season so far against NYCFC. Here’s what fans of the red, black and gold should look for in their opponents this weekend.
