Atlanta Silverbacks News Release


In what is considered their toughest home match to-date, the Atlanta Silverbacks Men will host the league-leading Montreal Impact this Friday, July 28 at 7:30 pm. The Silverbacks, 6-0-2 at RE/MAX Greater Atlanta Stadium, have not lost a home game in the eight weeks since their new stadium opened. Atlanta's 7-5-4 overall record puts the team in fifth place in the USL First Division standings, while Montreal's 9-2-5 overall record puts them in first place in the standings. These two teams met in Montreal on June 14 with Atlanta losing 4-1. Friday night's match will be true test of home field advantage and a chance for the Silverbacks to take revenge on the Impact.
