Prediction: 2-2
Atlanta United
All eyes will be on Lumen Field when Seattle Sounders and Atlanta United go head to head at Lumen Field in a highly-anticipated MLS game. The Sounders aim to recover from back-to-back League Cup defeats to Real Salt Lake and Monterrey and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against the Five Stripes. All Kelyn Rowe, Ethan Dobbelaere, Xavier Arreaga, and Sota Kitahara are out of contention with injuries.
The Five Stripes, on the other hand, aim to put an end to their four-game losing run in all competitions. Since the visitors will go for a victory as well, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on both teams to score. There are no fresh injury worries in the visiting team ahead of the trip to Seattle. In their last meeting in the MLS Atlanta defeated Seattle 2-1.
