📰 Team News: Atlanta United

There’s just the sole fitness concern for the Atlanta United gaffer Ronny Deila to contend with from a near full-strength group. Stian Gregersen (Hamstring injury) won’t play.

We are thinking that The Five Stripes will possibly use a 5-3-2 formation in the match featuring Brad Guzan, Ronald Hernández, Matthew Edwards, Derrick Williams, Luis Abram, Pedro Amador, Alexey Miranchuk, Will Reilly, Ajani Fortune, Jamal Thiare and Miguel Almirón.

📋 Team News: FC Cincinatti

It’s our belief that FC Cincinatti might make use of a 5-3-2 formation by sending out Roman Celentano, Luca Orellano, Nick Hagglund, Matthew Miazga, Miles Robinson, Lukas Engel, Pavel Bucha, Obinna Nwobodo, Evander, Sergio Santos and Kévin Denkey.

💡 Prediction

Our assessment is that FC Cincinatti and Atlanta United may well end up cancelling each other out here.

An eventful draw is therefore a real possibility, and we are expecting it to be very tight. We’re therefore expecting a great battle with a score draw by the conclusion of the match.
