The New England Revolution begin a two-game road as they travel south to face Atlanta United at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

Atlanta has gone three games unbeaten with road draws against Chicago and Orlando after a four-match losing streak as the Five Stripes sit just two points behind their guests.
Gonzalo Pineda's men are 5-1-1 at home and have averaged more than two goals per game at Mercedes-Benz.

Ones to watch
Thiago Almada (Atlanta United)
While the Five Stripes boast an array of attacking options, Almada is still the man that pulls the strings, having scored six goals and registered an MLS-best eight assists in 13 appearances.
The made history as the first active MLS player to be crowned a World Cup champion as part of the Argentina squad that defeated France in last year's final.
Bobby Wood (New England Revolution)
With a goal and an assist against Chicago last Saturday, Wood now has a team-leading four goals and three assists, both career-highs, in 12 appearances after just five goals and two assists in two years with Salt Lake.
He'll be a key man on Wednesday night as the Revolution attack may well need to keep pace with an Atlanta team that has scored 16 goals in seven home games this season.
Previous meetings
Last October, New England eliminated Atlanta from playoff contention with a 2-1 victory.
The Revolution took the lead as Five Stripes goalkeeper Raul Gudino fouled Giacomo Vrioni, who stepped up to the spot and beat Gudino with a low left-footed shot into the right corner to score his first career MLS goal.
With less than ten minutes to play, Josef Martinez converted a Brooks Lennon cross with a spectacular bicycle kick to even the score.
Four minutes later, New England found a winner as Bou took a pass from Gil at close range inside the box and his shot into the far side of the net made it 2-1.
