After losing the first two meetings, Nashville SC is unbeaten in its last four matches against Atlanta United in MLS play (W2 D2). One of those two defeats was in Nashville’s opening match in MLS, a 2-1 home defeat in March 2020. Nashville has lost just one home match since that defeat (P32 W16 D15 L1).
Nashville extended its home unbeaten streak to 22 games with a 2-1 win over CF Montréal on Wednesday (incl. playoffs). Nashville has won its last two home matches. It’s managed two three-match home winning streaks during this unbeaten run.
Atlanta United has lost five of its last six away matches (W1), including the last three in a row. Since their win in Nashville in March 2020, the Five Stripes have won only six of 32 away matches (D9 L17, including playoffs).
Hany Mukhtar scored his 14th home goal (including playoffs) since the start of the 2021 season in Nashville’s win over Montreal. Only Valentín Castellanos (18) has scored more goals at home in that time.
Thiago Almada scored the first goal for Atlanta against New England on Sunday before assisting the second. Almada is the 13th different player in Atlanta United history to record a goal and an assist in a single MLS match, despite this being just the club’s sixths season in the league.
