Our prediction for this MLS match:
Nashville and Atlanta United take on each other at Geodis Park in the opening match of the weekend round. Nashville quickly bounced back from a 1-0 loss to Charlotte, with the team beating Toronto in front of home fans and they must be high on confidence ahead of Saturday’s clash. Both Shaquell Moore and Tyler Boyd are pushing for a start, while both Randall Leal and Lukas MacNaughton are sidelined with injuries.
The Five Stripes, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form and given their three-game losing run in the Major League Soccer, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the home side. Both Tyler Wolff and Derrick Williams are out of contention with injuries for the away team. In their last meeting in the MLS Atlanta hammered Nashville 4-0, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge.
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).
