Atlanta United will be desperate to snap their three-game losing streak as they welcome a red-hot Nashville SC side that just demolished Chicago Fire 7-2 in their previous outing.
The Five Stripes have failed to score in three consecutive matches while conceding six goals, creating mounting pressure on Ronny Deila's squad ahead of this crucial Eastern Conference clash.
Nashville, powered by Sam Surridge's four-goal performance last weekend and historically strong against Atlanta with three wins in their last six meetings, poses a significant threat to the struggling home side.

Atlanta United vs. Nashville SC preview
Atlanta United face an uphill battle as they welcome Nashville SC to Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Saturday, looking to snap a troubling three-game losing streak during which they've failed to score a single goal.
Nashville arrives in blistering form after an astonishing 7-2 demolition of Chicago Fire last weekend, with Sam Surridge netting four goals in a performance that will have Atlanta's struggling defense on high alert.
The visitors have dominated recent meetings, winning three of the last five encounters including a comfortable 2-0 victory at this very stadium last September.
Atlanta's defensive woes—having conceded three goals in back-to-back matches—could prove costly against a Nashville attack that has scored in each of their last seven MLS outings.
Both sides are dealing with injury concerns, with Edwin Mosquera and Derrick Williams sidelined for the hosts, while Nashville will be without Tyler Boyd, Maximus Ekk, and the influential Walker Zimmerman.
Given that four of the last six meetings between these teams have produced at least four goals, fans at Mercedes-Benz Stadium might be in for an entertaining, high-scoring affair despite Atlanta's recent offensive drought.
