Atlanta United FC (4-3-12) at Minnesota United FC (6-7-6) — Match Preview
Atlanta United FC head to Allianz Field to face Minnesota United FC in a match that means far more to the home side sitting on the standings. The two clubs have scored the same 21 goals apiece, but Minnesota has allowed just 26 to Atlanta’s 34, a defensive gap that has the Loons sitting ninth in the Western Conference with 25 points while the Five Stripes have slid to 15th with 15 in the Eastern Conference. Kelvin Yeboah has been the offensive engine at home, scoring 8 goals in 18 appearances to pace every scorer on the Minnesota roster. Miguel Almirón counters for the visitors with 3 goals and 4 assists in just 13 matches, a different kind of scoring threat working off the flank rather than through the middle.
Minnesota’s Joaquín Pereyra has quietly put together the match’s best passing numbers, setting up 8 assists across 19 appearances, while Alexey Miranchuk has matched him for output with 5 goals and 5 assists in 18 games for Atlanta. Minnesota’s spot in the playoff wild card picture adds real stakes to every match down the stretch, while Atlanta continues fighting simply to climb off the bottom of the table.

Players to Watch: Atlanta United FC vs. Minnesota United FC
Atlanta United FC
Miguel Almirón — F. Almirón has given Atlanta’s attack a different look off the wing, contributing 3 goals and 4 assists across just 13 appearances this season. His production per match ranks among the sharpest on a roster that has otherwise struggled to find the net, and Minnesota’s back line will need to account for his movement into open space.
Alexey Miranchuk — M. Few players on either roster have been as involved in the final third as Miranchuk, who has combined for 5 goals and 5 assists over 18 matches. He operates as the connector between midfield and attack, equally comfortable finishing chances as creating them for teammates.
Elías Baez — D. Baez has added an attacking dimension from the back line, picking up 3 assists in 17 appearances for Atlanta this season. That kind of output from a defender points to a team that leans on its outside backs to generate width in the final third.
Minnesota United FC
Kelvin Yeboah — F. Yeboah has been the one consistent bright spot in Minnesota’s attack, leading the club with 8 goals in 18 appearances. No one else on the Loons’ roster is within shouting distance of that total, and he figures to carry the primary scoring burden again against Atlanta.
Joaquín Pereyra — M. Pereyra sets the tempo in the middle for Minnesota, leading the team with 8 assists to go with 2 goals across 19 appearances. His distribution numbers are the best on the roster, and he’s often the player turning possession into genuine scoring chances.
Anthony Markanich — D. Markanich has been an unusual source of goals from Minnesota’s back line, scoring 4 times in 19 appearances this season. A defender ranking among the club’s more productive scorers speaks to how often the Loons have looked to set pieces and overlapping runs to break games open.
