Atlanta Aiming to End Campaign on a High

It has been an extremely poor campaign for Atlanta United, as they have gone 5-16-12 during the regular season.

Atlanta have one of the worst defensive records in the Eastern Conference, as they have allowed 62 goals. Only D.C. United have allowed more efforts in the conference.

Taking confidence from the final few rounds has been challenging, as United have fallen to three straight defeats. Their latest loss was suffered against Inter Miami on Sunday.

Possible Lineup
(3-5-2) Hibbert (GK); Gregersen, Berrocal, Amador; Afonso, Sanchez, Togashi, Alzate, Chong-Qui; Thiare, Latte Lath

United Set to Finish Bottom of Standings

D.C. United will also have a point to prove this weekend, as they bid to avoid finishing the campaign at the bottom of the Eastern Conference standings.

They come into this round after failing to win in their last five matches, while they have fallen to defeats in their previous two without scoring.

Last time out, United suffered a 1-0 loss at home against Charlotte FC. Luis Barraza and Aaron Herrera were both sent off in the defeat, and both will be suspended for the final day of the season on Saturday.

Possible Lineup
(4-3-3) Farr (GK); Antley, Bartlett, Rowles; Schnegg; Pirani, Peltola, Hopkins; Stroud, Benteke, Peglow
