Match preview
After two very disappointing campaigns, what will 2022 bring for Atlanta United?
The Five Stripes only debuted in 2017 but made an instant impact, winning MLS Cup in 2018 and then both the U.S. Open Cup and Campeones Cup a year later.
Longtime Seattle assistant Gonzalo Pineda is the new Head Coach in Georgia and he’s been busy in the transfer market.
Esequiel Barco has gone to River Plate, while Franco Escobar, George Bello, Anton Walkes and Josh Bauer have all also departed.
Ronald Hernández and Osvaldo Alonso will add experience, but the exciting signing is that of Thiago Almada, costing $16 million from Vélez Sarsfield.
He’ll be looking to link-up with talisman Josef Martínez and, if he can, Atlanta United will certainly be in the play-off conversation.
Sporting Kansas City meanwhile will be looking to continue their recent consistency.
Peter Vermes’ side have only missed the play-offs in one of the last 11 seasons, finishing fourth in last year’s overall table.
When SKC beat Vancouver Whitecaps, they looked set for another memorable play-off run but then suffered a shock loss to Real Salt Lake in round two.
So, this time round, they’ll be desperate to win some silverware for the first time since beating the Red Bulls in the U.S. Open Cup Final of 2017.
Will there be a winner at Mercedes-Benz Stadium?
