Orlando City prepare for this fixture following a 0-0 MLS tied result versus CF Montreal.

In that match, Orlando City managed 46% possession and 9 attempts at goal with 2 on target. CF Montreal had 12 attempts on goal with 7 of them on target.

Their most recent results really do illustrate the point that quality has been evident in the Orlando City backline. Orlando City have been mean at the back, seeing the tally of goals that have gone in at their end during their past 6 matches standing at 4. However, we will just have to wait and see if such a trend might continue on in this match.

Since tasting defeat last time out to Philadelphia Union in MLS action, Atlanta United will be hoping to turn things around here.

ℹ️ Team News: Orlando City

Wilder Cartagena (Achilles tendon rupture), Nicolás Rodríguez (Hamstring injury), Favian Loyola (Torn muscle bundle) and Yutaro Tsukada (Cruciate ligament tear) aren’t available for Orlando City gaffer Óscar Pareja.

It’s our opinion that The Lions will probably use a 4-4-2 formation this time and select Pedro Gallese, Alex Freeman, David Brekalo, Robin Jansson, Kyle Smith, Marco Pašalić, D. Dan Thórhallsson, Zakaria Taifi, Iván Angulo, Luis Muriel and Martin Ojeda.

🗞️ Team News: Atlanta United

Atlanta United boss Ronny Deila has multiple availability issues to deal with. Derrick Williams (Muscle injury) and Edwin Mosquera (unknown injury) are not able to play.

It’s our belief that The Five Stripes will likely elect for a 4-4-2 system by sending out Brad Guzan, Brooks Lennon, Luis Abram, Noah Cobb, Pedro Amador, Miguel Almirón, Bartosz Slisz, Will Reilly, Ajani Fortune, Jamal Thiare and Saba Lobzhanidze.

💭 Prediction

Our assessment is that Orlando City will most probably have the majority of the possession and should be able to turn a few of their chances into goals.

Conversely, Atlanta United will be up against it to get a goal of their own but we do fancy them scoring.

We’re predicting a controlled 3-1 margin for Orlando City when the full-time whistle blows.
