Atlanta United take on the visitors Orlando City at “Mercedes-Benz Stadium” in the next round of the USA’s MLS. The match will be played in Atlanta on Sunday, July 1st.
Atlanta United showed unsuccessful results at the end of June: “The Five Stripes” had lost to Chicago Fire 0:1 and left the US Open Cup at the 1/8 final stage plus they deserved only 1:1 draw against Portland Timbers in the MLS. However, despite those failures, Atlanta United are still leading in the Eastern Conference table with 34 points gained and 34-20 goal difference. As for the side’s results at the home ground within the MLS, the team picked up 17 points with 23-12 goal difference in nine encounters conducted in front of its supporters.

On the contrary, Orlando City demonstrate rather successful performance in the US Open Cup, having beaten DC United 2:1 by penalties shoot-out at the 1/8 final stage. But in the MLS “The Lions” have lost seven tackles in a row with 5-19 goal difference since the 14th of May. As a result, Orlando City have turned from one of the Eastern Conference leaders into the outsider within six weeks. The side currently occupies the eighth position in the standings with 19 points collected and 24-33 goal difference. Orlando City earned six points with seven goals for and 16 goals against in seven battles played on the road, having failed four recent clashes with 3-13 goal difference.
Atlanta United have never lost to Orlando City so far. The teams recorded two draws and two victories in favour of “The Lions” in four head-to-heads conducted. Taking into account the home-field factor as well as the visitors’ failures in the latest fights, I believe that the hosts must earn all three points in the forthcoming encounter.
Prediction for the match: Atlanta United to win with -1.0 Asian handicap.
