The Union picked up a very important win at the weekend over Orlando to keep them in the final play-off spot. Atlanta are flying currently, winning seven from eight, and scoring for fun. After what was a really poor first half to the season they now find themselves up in the playoff spots. This should be a highly entertaining game and with the confidence the Union have picked up on the back of their recent win this could end up all square, despite Atlanta's form. 2:2
