Prediction: 1-2
Atlanta United
Dallas will be looking to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Minnesota United when they take on Atlanta United at their Toyota Stadium in what is expected to be a real football festival. The Toros quickly bounced back from a heavy 3-0 loss to New York Red Bulls and, as a result, they are level on points with first-placed Sporting Kansas City. Dallas have been impressive at home ground so far this season, which is giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of Thursday’s football match. Atlanta United, on the other hand, outclassed Orlando City 4-0 in their last league fixture, with Josef Martinez scoring his 15th goal of the season. The Colombian attacker looks unstoppable at the moment and we predict that he is going to pose a big threat for the opposition defenders. Atlanta are more of a team than Dallas, in our opinion, and away win should be considered.
