CF Montréal ended a seven-match winless run against Atlanta (D2 L5) with a 2-1 victory at home in October 2021. Montreal still hasn’t collected a point in Atlanta, however, with the Five Stripes winning all four meetings between the teams at Mercedes Benz Stadium.
Atlanta United is unbeaten in nine straight home matches following its 2-1 win over Charlotte on Sunday (W7 D2). The Five Stripes already have three separate home unbeaten runs of at least 10 matches in the club’s five-plus year MLS history, most recently in April-August 2019 (11 straight).
CF Montréal has opened a season with three straight losses for the second time in club history (also in 2014). At least one team has opened a season with four straight defeats in each of the last three MLS campaigns (Minnesota in 2021, Miami and NYCFC in 2020, San Jose in 2019).
Jake Mulraney scored Atlanta United’s match-winning goal against Charlotte at 95:34, the latest match-winning goal in Atlanta United’s MLS history.
Djordje Mihailovic recorded his second assist of the season, setting up Zachary Brault-Guillard for Montreal’s only goal on Saturday. Since the beginning of August 2021, Mihailovic has recorded 13 assists, three more than any other player in MLS in that time.
