There's been ups and downs for these two teams so far this season, occupying positions near the middle of the Major League Soccer table so far. Here's the Chicago Fire - Atlanta United latest:

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Chicago Fire and Atlanta United.

This pitch has grass, which is not Atlanta United's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on grass Atlanta United have performed like this: Played 32 matches resulting in 15 wins, 4 draws and 13 defeats with the goal stats 46-45 (scored/conceded). Atlanta United have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1100 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
