After failing to win any of the first seven MLS meetings with Atlanta (D2 L5, incl. playoffs), New England won both matches against the Five Stripes last season.
Atlanta United stretched its MLS home unbeaten run to 12 games with a 4–1 victory over the Fire on Saturday (W8 D4). This run equals the longest regular season home unbeaten streak in Atlanta’s history.
New England has not won consecutive matches since a three-match winning streak in September. The Revs have already matched their loss total from 2021 (5) and have less than half the number of points this season (11) than they had after 10 games last season (23).
Brooks Lennon is the driver of the Atlanta offense, as his 29 chances created this season are fourth-most in MLS while he’s attempted 92 crosses, second only to Carles Gil (102).
Adam Buksa has scored in four straight games, netting headers in all four. Buksa is the second player since 2010 to score a header in four straight MLS games (Josef Martínez – 2018) while his 13 headed goals (incl. playoffs) lead MLS since he joined in 2020.
