STREAMING: MLS LIVE on ESPN+ in US, on DAZN in Canada
In what could be an Audi 2019 MLS Cup Playoffs preview, Atlanta United host the New England Revolution on Decision Day presented by AT&T.
Atlanta United (17-12-4) are hoping to lock up second place in the East and are coming off a 1-1 draw with the Montreal Impact at Stade Saputo. Julian Gressel broke the scoreless stalemate in the 53rd minute, but Bojan leveled for the Impact in the 81st minute. The Five Stripes thought they had the winner four minutes later, but it was called back when Justin Meram was ruled offside.
The Revs (11-10-12) clinched their first playoff berth since 2015 following a 2-0 win over New York City FC at Gillette Stadium last Sunday. Teal Bunbury and Gustavo Bou struck for second-half goals and Matt Turner made six saves, including a stunning denial of Alex Mitrita to secure the win.
This is the second meeting this year, with Atlanta winning 2-0 at Gillette Stadium on April 13 thanks to Ezequiel Barco's first MLS brace.
