Atlanta Looks Ahead To Decisive Match With Orlando

By Yakiri Thomas / October 17, 2024

Atlanta United heads into their must-win Decision Day match against Orlando City SC on Saturday, October 19, needing three points and favorable results from other Eastern Conference matches to secure a playoff spot. They have a strong history against Orlando, with a 9-4-7 record, and they won their earlier 2024 matchup 2-0.

Saba Lobjanidze and Brooks Lennon rank in the top-10 for total sprints in MLS this season. Additionally, veteran Dax McCarty will play his final regular-season match on Saturday in his hometown of Orlando, wrapping up a historic career with 487 regular-season MLS matches, the third most in league history.

The stakes are high for Atlanta as they aim for a playoff spot, needing a win and favorable results elsewhere in the Eastern Conference.

The team will need to build on their momentum and deliver a strong performance in this away game to extend their postseason hopes.

The match is set to kick-off at 6 p.m. ET and will be broadcast on MLS Season Pass on Apple TV, while fans can also tune-in to radio calls on 92.9 The Game and La Mejor.
