Our prediction for this MLS match:
Atlanta United will be aiming to make amends for back-to-back losses to Nashville and Inter Miami when they take on Charlotte on Sunday morning. The Five Stripes suffered a dip in form, but they are still seen as hot favourites to win this match. All Araujo, Ibarra, Giakoumakis, Lopez, Alonso, and Guzan should miss out with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
Charlotte, on the other hand, aim to build on a hard-fought 3-2 win over New York City. Christian Lattanzio’s troops, though, are not regarded as good travellers and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Atlanta United’s party at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. To make things even worse for the away team, both Enzo Copetti and Derrick Jones are banned for the match, while all Vargas, Marks, Tuiloma, Jozwiak, Mora, and Corujo remain in the recovery room.

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).
