Our prediction for this MLS match:
Following a heavy 5-1 loss to Columbus Crew, New England Revolution will look to give fans some cheer when they take on Atlanta United at their Gillette Stadium on Thursday morning. The Revs 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. Carles Gil, Peyton Miller, Dylan Borrero, Tomas Chancalay, Nacho Gil, and Thomas McNamara are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
The Five Stripes, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-1 win over Toronto FC. As Atlanta United looked sharp in front of goal in their last league match, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. Jamal Thiare is pushing for a start after scoring as a substitute against Toronto, while Luis Abram is still on the international duty.
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).
