Atlanta United
BMO Field will host Sunday’s MLS game between Toronto and Atlanta United, the two Eastern Conference teams. The Reds have drawn each of their last three league matches, but it has to be noted that they failed to turn their dominance (in possession) into victory in a goalless draw with Nashville. Canada forward Ayomide Akinola is pushing for a start, while all Adama Diomande, Cristian Gutierrez, and Lorenzo Insigne remain in the recovery room.
The Five Stripes, on the other hand, aim to overtake Cincinnati in top position, but beating Toronto on the road is easier said than done. Taking everything into account, we believe that gamblers from all around the world can find value in betting on draw. Franco Ibarra misses out through suspension, with fellow midfielder Osvaldo Alonso remaining in the recovery room with an ACL problem. Santiago Sosa is likely to replace Ibarra in the starting XI.
Highlighted Player (Lorenzo Insigne):
Born in Frattamaggiore, Naples on June 4, 1991, Lorenzo Insigne is an Italian footballer who plays for his hometown club Napoli in the Serie A. Insigne is a product of Olimpia Sant’Arpino football school, but he joined the Partenopei at the age of 15.
The diminutive attacker scored his first ever goal in the Italian top flight on September 16, 2012 in a 3-1 win over Parma. Insigne, who played for the likes of Cavese, Foggia and Pescara on loan before returning to Naples, made his debut with the Italian national team on September 11, 2012 in the World Cup qualifier against Malta.
The Napoli forward scored his first ever goal for the Azzurri in a friendly against Argentina on August 14, 2013. His main position is left winger, but he is used as a second striker as well. Lorenzo Insigne has a contract with Napoli until June 30, 2022.
Highlighted Team (Atlanta United):
Atlanta United is a Major League Soccer club and they were founded on April 16, 2014. They are based in Atlanta, Georgia and they will make their debut in MLS in 2017. Arthur Blank is the club’s owner and Bobby Dodd Stadium is Atlanta United’s home ground.
Arthur Blank is an American businessman, who is well known for his ownership of the NFL club Atlanta Falcons. The venue was opened on September 27, 1913 and its’ current capacity is 60.316. However, it has to be noted that the team will play first eight home games of the 2017 season at Bobby Dodd Stadium, while the latter nine fixtures will be hosted by Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
Speaking of the club’s colors, Atlanta United footballers wear black and red shirts and black shorts with a little bit of gold mixed in. Gerardo Martino, who used to be in charge of La Liga side Barcelona in the past, will coach Atlanta United in the 2017 MLS season. Tata Martino won the Spanish Super Cup with Barca, while making it to the Copa America final with Argentina on two occasions (2015, 2016).
