DC United
Atlanta United will look to stay in the Eastern Conference playoffs berth when they take on DC United on Sunday morning. The Five Stripes have been sharing the spoils with their rivals a lot of late, but they need to start winning on a regular basis if they are to rejoin the race for top position. Both Lopez and Sejdic miss out with injuries, while the opposition defenders should have Greece international Georgios Giakoumakis at bay.
The capital club, on the other hand, are almost level on points with Atlanta in the standings, but it is well know that they struggle on the travels. Taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the home side. Midfielder Lewis O’Brien is back from suspension, whereas former Premier League star Christian Benteke is likely to prove a handful for the opposition back-line.
Highlighted Player (Christian Benteke):
Christian Benteke, born on 3th of December 1990 is a Belgian football player with roots from Congo. Benteke started his career at KRC Genk and after playing for Standard Liege, KV Mechelen, KV Kortrijk and Aston Villa the striker got transferred to Liverpool. Benteke is 191cm and is known for being a very strong goal scoring striker. In May 2010 Benteke made his debut for the Belgian national team.
Christian Benteke didn’t win any mayor prices yet. In the season 2008/2009 he won the national league of Belgium. Benteke is signed by Nike and got transferred to Liverpool for 46 million euro which makes him the second most expensive football player from Belgium. Benteke’s nickname is The Beast or Bentegoal.
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.
