Prediction: 1-0
Atlanta United
Following a 1-1 draw with Vancouver Whitecaps in the Canadian derby, CF Montreal will look to return to winning ways when they face Atlanta United. Laurent Courtois’ troops are eyeing their fourth home win of the process, but this match will be anything but a walk in the park for the home side. Uruguay international Matias Coccaro should be recalled to the starting XI after scoring as a substitute against Vancouver, while all Piette, Waterman, and Choiniere are still on the international duty.
The Five Stripes, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form, with the team losing to both New England and Real Salt Lake in the Major League Soccer. As Atlanta Untied failed to impress in the US Open Cup loss to Indy Eleven, home win should definitely be considered. The good news for the away team is that Norway defender Stian Gregersen is back from suspension, while both Jamal Thiare and Edwin Mosquera are out of contention through injuries.
Highlighted Player (Victor Wanyama):
Over the years Victory Wanyama has established himself as one of the best Kenyan footballers. Wanyama started his senior career at Belgian club Beerschot and after scoring 2 goals in 51 appearances in the league for de Ratten, he moved to Celtic in 2011.
The defensive midfielder, who is very strong in the tackle, decided to leave the Hoops in 2013, signing a deal with Premier League side Southampton for a fee of £12.5 million.During his spell at St. Mary’s Stadium Victory Wanyama established himself as a first-team regular at Southampton and thanks to his thrilling displays with the Saints, Tottenham Hotspur chiefs made a tempting offer for the Kenya international.
In 2016 Wanyama signed a four-year deal with the capital club and he has been playing for Spurs ever since. The Tottenham midfielder was born in Nairobi on June 25, 1991 and he made his international debut for the Kenya national team in a friendly against Nigeria in May, 2007.
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).
