Atlanta United want a win
Steve Chelandro’s Atlanta United have been doing properly because the begin of the 2023 MLS season. The staff sits fifth within the Japanese Convention with 25 factors from 17 video games. Atlanta’s document is 6-7-4 with a aim differential of 33-24. This made Cerundro’s staff certainly one of his high scoring groups in MLS, but in addition one of many worst defensive groups within the league.
Poor protection at The 5 Stripes has price them many factors this season, however particularly in current weeks. In actual fact, Atlanta United have drawn in every of their final 4 MLS video games, two of which have ended 3-3.
In current MLS video games, Cernundro’s staff has carried out properly within the again. They drew 0-0 with MLS Cup holders LAFC in Los Angeles final Wednesday. The Los Angeles FC gamers scored 22 aim makes an attempt, whereas the Atlanta FC gamers scored simply 4 targets, none of which had been aimed on the internet.
Atlanta goalkeeper Brad Guzan carried out properly within the recreation, saving 9 photographs. He additionally saved Carlos Vela’s penalty, however he went outdoors the aim line too early and the identical factor occurred once more. And Berra despatched the ball to the Z row on the second try.
DC United is the sort of staff Atlanta hates to play towards
With Atlanta United enjoying at residence on Saturday, ‘parking the bus’ in entrance of aim is not going to win the assist of the stands. And on condition that Cerundro’s facet are 2-5-3 of their final 10 MLS video games, the strain is on them to come back out and choose up the three factors on Saturday.
Figuring out this, it’s totally possible that we’ll see ‘The 5 Stripes’ frontline in a recreation towards DC United. Nonetheless, this doesn’t imply that Wayne Rooney’s sons will truly endure. Conversely, they love when their opponent has the ball. At the very least, towards a formidable opponent like Atlanta United.
The Black & Reds have room to play defensively and take probabilities throughout breaks. That is as a result of they’ve the massive man Christian Benteke as their solely striker. The previous Liverpool and Crystal Palace goal man is 6’3 tall and weighs round 190 kilos.
Benteke’s flank has quick wingers like Taxiarchis Fountas and Cristian Dajomé who can outperform most defenders. Wayne Rooney additionally has some nice midfielders who can lower via Atlanta’s protection with passes. The lads in query are Louis O’Brien, Mateusz Clich and Theodore Ku-Dipietro.
Atlanta United vs DC United Prediction
Atlanta United are anticipated to assault all through the match, however DC United want just one good counter-attack (or set-piece) to attain. That is why I do not suppose guests will lose on Saturday. However can they beat Atlanta in Georgia? I am unsure about that. Quite, I consider probably the most affordable consequence is a draw.
