Our prediction for this MLS match:
Atlanta United will be aiming to put an end to their four-game winless run when they take on CF Montreal in a midweek MLS clash. The Five Stripes are eager to stay in the playoffs race and we are positive that they will go all guns blazing at the Canadians. French midfielder Tristan Muyumba is pushing for a start, while the likes of Silva, Thiare, and Westberg remain in the recovery room.
The Canadian outfit, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Chicago Fire and San Jose Earthquakes. Montreal have a chance to climb to the playoffs places, but given their poor away record in the 2024 MLS campaign, we predict that the hosts are going to pick up vital three points from Thursday’s clash. Forward Lassi Lappalainen remains in the recovery room, but he should be the only absentee in the away team.
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).
