Atlanta United lost their last game at Columbus Crew (placed 5th) after a 1-6 scoreline. The first loss after going undefeated through four league rounds.

Ahead of that match, Atlanta won a home game hosting Portland Timbers (5-1).

This is expected to be a close game, with Atlanta United perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage.
