"Starting with the hosts, making an immediate return to losing ways last time out as they marked their return from September's international break with a rollercoaster 5-4 defeat at home against Columbus, Atlanta have once again come under serious scrutiny this season. Scrapping it out at the foot of the Eastern Conference standings, the Five Stripes should be bracing themselves for another stern examination here."
"As for the visitors, while San Diego might have only made their MLS debut this season, Mikey Varas' men have enjoyed a sensational maiden campaign among America's elite. Despite falling to a 3-1 defeat at home against Minnesota last time out, the California-based outfit are still leading the chase at the top of the Western Conference standings and they have rightfully received a string of plaudits."
San Diego travel to Mercedes-Benz Stadium to face Atlanta aiming to extend their Western Conference lead. Atlanta return from the international break having lost 5-4 to Columbus and sit near the bottom of the Eastern Conference with one win from their last 13 MLS matches. Defensive frailties have produced just one MLS home clean sheet since March and mounting pressure on coach Ronny Delia. San Diego have enjoyed a strong debut MLS season under Mikey Varas, suffering only one loss in seven matches before the break and still top the Western Conference despite a recent 3-1 home loss to Minnesota. San Diego seek an immediate response.
