A high-flying Minnesota United visit the Mercedes-Benz Stadium to face a stumbling Atlanta United in an intriguing MLS encounter.
Atalanta United have just three wins from their opening nine games in the MLS as they are yet to find their groove in the league this season. The side are yet to win their first encounter since their 3-0 thrashing of Chicago which came at the start of April as the Five Stripes aim to turn around their fortunes.
Minnesota United, on the other hand, are seeded at the fourth spot in the Western Conference as they have the perfect opportunity to reach the summit of their Conference. The visitors have won two back-to-back contests in the league as they aim to make it a hat-trick of victories in the MLS.
