(5W-6L-4D) (4W-7L-6D) Indy Eleven at Atlanta United 2 Date/Time: Sunday, August 8 at 7:30 p.m. ET Location: Fifth Third Bank Stadium | Kennesaw, Ga. Local/National broadcast: N/A Streaming video: ESPN+ Radio (Spanish): N/A In-Game Updates: Twitter.com/IndyElevenLive Match Official: William Steffen AR1: Zach McWhorter AR2: Kevin Huet Fourth Official: Joshua Belk MATCH PREVIEW The Boys in Blue head to Fifth Third Bank Stadium this Sunday to take on Atlanta United 2 coming off the heels of a surge against FC Tulsa midweek that lifted them back into the win column, snapping a five-game winless streak in the process. After late-game heroics from forwards and Peter-Lee LAST FIVE MATCHES: (1W-2L-2D) Vassell propelled Indy to a 2-0 victory, the team will be looking to build on its first win since mid-June and first clean sheet since late May to close out the first INJURY REPORT half of the season.

Indiana’s Team has been successful in creating chances along the wings and N/A playing through the middle of the park this season, usually followed by a series of calculated passes; but Wednesday’s win at Tulsa presented a new tool for scoring opportunities – utilizing balls over the top. Both of Wednesday’s goals saw Wild and Vassell using their speed to create space for Hackshaw and Jeremiah Gutjahr to drop passes over the opposing defenders, the latter pair also drawing defensive pressure away from attacking lanes. If the Boys in Blue can spread Atlanta’s defense the same way they picked apart Tulsa, Indy’s offensive train may finally leave the station and charge full steam ahead after bagging only thrice in its four previous contests.

Atlanta United 2 come into Sunday’s match looking to turn around their fortunes after recording a 1W-5L-4D record in its last 10 matches, the lone win in that stretch coming against FC Tulsa on June 28. Consistency has been hard to come by for Atlanta, with players bouncing back and forth from their and USL Championship rosters. ATL have had 12 different goal scorers so far this season, with midfielder and Notre Dame alum Aiden McFadden leading the Indy Eleven Communications Staff charge with six of the team’s 22 tallies.
