Atlanta United Seeks to Extend Unbeaten Run Against Struggling Revs

One major boost for Atlanta has been the return of Miguel Almiron. The 31-year-old has scored in back-to-back matches, recapturing the magic that made him a star in Atlanta’s 2018 championship run before his move to Newcastle United. Emmanuel Latte Lath has also been in form, tallying five goals to sit tied for second in the league.
The Revolution (1-4-1, 4 points) come to Mercedes-Benz Stadium in desperate need of a turnaround. New England has scored just three goals all season—fewest in MLS—and dropped four of its last five games. But head coach Caleb Porter sees reason for optimism after a competitive 1-0 loss to FC Cincinnati.
“We fought, we had a good mentality… I want to see a killer instinct from the players,”
