The Atlanta Soccer Club opens their conference championship defense Saturday night in Nashville, Tennessee. The match has been selected by the NPSL as the featured National Game of the Week, and can be seen on the Atlanta SC Broadcast Network via MyCujoo. Kick off is set for 8:30 PM ET.

Atlanta met Inter Nashville FC twice in the 2018 campaign under the Silverback crest. In the first contest between the two teams at Silverbacks Park, Atlanta dropped to 10 men early after a red card was issued. Despite the disadvantage, the Silverbacks took a late 2-1 lead. Nashville equalized on a free kick in the closing minutes to earn a 2-2 draw. In the return leg in the Music City, Thierry Jules found the back of the net to give Atlanta the lead in the 55th minute before Nashville equalized. In the 70th minute, midfielder Ricardo Oliviera delivered a strike from the kick-off spot that found the back of the net over the retreating goalkeeper. The wonder-goal gave Atlanta the 2-1 win.
