Atlanta United vs Toronto FC Match Preview

Altanda United will host Toronto at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium for the 33rd game of the United States championship.

Although they presented two faces in their last game, Atlanta United managed to reach the victory and get the three valuable points against Inter Miami, continuing the battle for participation in the play-offs. In the first part they were very bad, while in the second part they came together and got the victory by overturning the score.

They are in sixth place with 46 points, having one game less. They need this home victory as two away games follow against New York and Cincinnati. The injured E. Hyndman was left out of the squad. The Venezuelan striker Josef Martinez is an asset as he gives a lot of scoring solutions.

Toronto, on the other hand, come from a 2-2 home draw against Philadelphia while there was another draw, again at home, with Montreal Impact 1-1. They remain very low in terms of points, just second to last with 27 points. They will hardly be able to climb even a little as the difference from Chicago which is just above them is seven points.

Away from home they lose their dynamics and have a lot of difficulty, especially in scoring. At the same time, everyone's mind is on the second semifinal for the Canada Cup against the Pacific. The injured Y. Soteldo, O. González, A. Akinola and Achara were left out of the squad.

Atlanta have the opportunity to take the victory and establish themselves in the play-offs. Against Toronto, which will be indifferent in terms of points and with the mind in the midweek semifinal, having at the same time several absences, Atlanta have the first word to prevail. Home win is my choice.
