Atlanta United Breaks MLS Records in Wild 5-Goal Thriller—Watch the Must-See Highlights Now
• Hot Trendy News
Atlanta United aim to protect their unbeaten home record Saturday night when FC Cincinnati roll into Mercedes-Benz Stadium for a pivotal MLS Eastern Conference clash. The Five Stripes enter Matchday 15 sitting fourth in the table, yet a win could vault Ronny Deila’s men as high as second depending on other results.
Key injuries put pressure on Atlanta’s depth
Team captain Stian Gregersen (quad), right-back Brooks Lennon (hamstring) and midfield engine Tristan Muyumba (ankle) have all been ruled out, trimming options in defence and the double pivot. Expect Luis Abram to partner Derrick Williams at centre-back, with Caleb Wiley sliding to right-back and Ronald Hernández filling the left side. Dax McCarty is favourite to anchor midfield alongside Bartosz Slisz, freeing Thiago Almada to orchestrate higher up the pitch.
Form guide
• Atlanta United: W D L W D
• FC Cincinnati: W W L W W
The Five Stripes are fresh off a 2-0 midweek victory over Austin FC, where Giorgos Giakoumakis bagged his sixth goal of the season. Cincinnati, meanwhile, ground out a 1-0 win at home to Chicago and arrive in Atlanta with the league’s stingiest defence (0.79 goals against per match).
Match details, live stream and TV info
Kick-off: 7:30 p.m. ET, Saturday 24 May
Venue: Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Atlanta, GA
Streaming: MLS Season Pass on Apple TV; local radio 92.9 The Game
Tactical battle to watch
Cincinnati boss Pat Noonan typically lines up in a 3-4-1-2, funnelling play through maestro Luciano Acosta. Atlanta will counter with their fluid 4-2-3-1 that morphs into a 3-2-5 in possession. If Slisz and McCarty can stifle Acosta’s half-spaces, Almada should find pockets behind Obi Nwobodo to link with wingers Saba Lobjanidze and Xande Silva.
Players in focus
• Thiago Almada – leads MLS in key passes per 90 (3.6).
• Luciano Acosta – reigning MVP, eight goal contributions in his last five games.
• Giorgos Giakoumakis – averaging a goal every 127 minutes despite missing three matches with a groin knock.
• Matt Miazga – anchoring a Cincinnati back line that has kept four clean sheets in six.
What a win would mean
An Atlanta victory would extend their home unbeaten streak to nine matches and keep the Five Stripes within striking distance of Supporters’ Shield leaders Inter Miami. Cincinnati could leapfrog both Orlando City and New York Red Bulls with three points, tightening an already crowded top half of the East.
Projected Atlanta United starting XI
Guzan; Wiley, Abram, Williams, Hernández; McCarty, Slisz; Lobjanidze, Almada, Silva; Giakoumakis.
Score prediction
Atlanta United 2-1 FC Cincinnati. Home-field advantage and Giakoumakis’ clinical finishing should overcome Cincinnati’s disciplined block, though expect a nervy finish if Acosta finds space late.
