Atlanta Utd vs Orlando City Match Preview

Atlanta Utd is ranked at 10th place with 23 points and comes after a single win a draw and three losses over the last five matches. Currently, they sit three points behind the play-off zone but being one game short gives them a good chance to climb in ranks in case of a win here.

With 28 goals scored so far they have one of the best offensive sides in the league and scored a total of six goals in the last five duels averaging at least a goal per game while managing to find the back of the net in four encounters. Adding a player like Pozuelo will definitely improve their offensive power in the quest for finishing in a playoff spot. Already players like Cisneros 6 goals - 1 assists and Martinez 5 goals - 3 assists have been doing quite well.

Orlando City, on the other hand, is ranked at 5th place with 29 points and comes after two wins a draw, and two losses over the last five matches. Their better form recently has allowed them to remain inside the play-off zone but their main goal here will be to avoid defeat against a direct rival.

With 25 goals scored so far they have shown a good attack and in the last five matches, scored a total of seven goals averaging more than a goal per game while managing to find the back of the net in four encounters too. For them, it has been Kara with 7 goals - 2 assists and Torres 4 goals - 6 assists who are leading the offensive side.

In conclusion, I think this match can have over 2.5 goals. Atlanta Utd is really trying to improve and make it to the play offs and that is why they signed Pozuelo from Toronto FC as their designated player. I think they should score a goal as a minimum in front of their fans. Orlando has performed quite well on the road as they managed to score in four of the last five games away from home. Considering Atlanta Utd failed to keep a clean sheet in any of the last five matches I think Orlando should be able to punish them.
