Atlanta is the only team in MLS to score at least one goal in every game this season.

The team leads MLS with five goals scored in the first 15 minutes of matches this season.

Since the start of last season, Atlanta has scored the most goals in second-half stoppage time (10) in MLS. The next closest are D.C. United, Charlotte FC and Columbus Crew (each with six). The game-winning goal against Chicago in Matchday 9 was the latest goal scored in club history in the 99th minute.

Giorgos Giakoumakis scored in each of his first five MLS starts, becoming just the second player in MLS history to do so (Taylor Twellman, six). Giakoumakis holds the longest active goal-scoring streak in MLS at five matches and has matched the longest streak of his career (VV Venlo, 2020).

Nashville heads into Saturday in sixth place in the Eastern Conference with a 3-3-3 record, coming off a 1-1 draw vs. Los Angeles FC in Matchday 9 and a 1-0 win against San Antonio on Wednesday in U.S. Open Cup. Reigning MLS MVP Hany Mukhtar leads the team with three goals and three assists.
