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 Montreal Impact and Atlanta United.

This field has grass, which is not Atlanta United's familiar surface at their own pitch. When appearing on grass Atlanta United have performed like this: Played 29 matches resulting in 8 wins, 6 draws and 15 defeats with the goal data 38-50 (scored/conceded).

These teams have little in common geographically as Atlanta United have to travel 1900 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
