Like Atlanta, LAFC is also coming off a midweek match. On Tuesday, they beat Loudoun United 3-0 to advance to the quarterfinals of the Cup.
Players to Watch
Caleb Wiley (Atlanta United) – Five Atlanta homegrowns have logged minutes in MLS play for the club - Caleb Wiley is one of those players. He has taken a more defensive role this season as his responsibility on Atlanta’s backline has grown. Wiley can still get forward and push the offensive when need be; his scoring touch was on full display when he scored a long-range goal against Philadelphia Union earlier this season.
Timothy Tillman (LAFC) – Los Angeles’s midfield is a strong suit of their team. German born Timothy Tillman makes up a large part of that solid structure on both sides of the ball. He has played 13 games this season and has accumulated four goals and four assists.
