Predicting Atlanta United’s 11 vs. San Jose

I think the starting 11 for Atlanta United in tonight’s game against San Jose at Bobby Dodd Stadium is going to look very familiar.

After posting consecutive shutouts in its previous two games, why change something that seems to be working.

So, Anton Walkes will get his fourth consecutive start across all competitions and third at right back. The rest of the 11 will be the strongest the team can field.

Because the team is about to start a two-week break with no games, manager Gerardo Martino can play all of the guys who started Saturday’s 2-0 win over Columbus.

If the Five Stripes win, and Orlando City loses its game vs. Toronto, they will move into fourth place in the Eastern Conference. If NYCFC also loses its game at Vancouver, Atlanta United could find itself within three points of being tied for third place.
