Our feeling is that Atlanta United are likely to see a lot of the ball and convert quite a few goal-scoring opportunities.

However, FC Dallas might well find it a difficult task to find the back of the net but we can see them pulling one back during this clash.

We’re therefore expecting to see a controlled 3-1 margin for Atlanta United when all’s said and done.
