Is the turnaround for real?
A flash in the pan or a sign of a true turnaround? For Atlanta United to make their 2-1 midweek result against RSL a focal point of the 2022 season, they’ll need to prove that they can find continued success this afternoon in a big way, as they welcome arch rivals Orlando City to town on display to a nationwide audience on ABC.
Gonzalo Pineda will have plenty of head scratching decisions to make after Wednesday’s win, which came with a lineup of three center backs and only one starting Designated Player, along with a backup striker showing his form with a first half brace. What moves will be made? Can the Five Stripes make this turnaround last and carry them up the table to a playoff spot?
