Brand new|Fresh|New season, fresh|new potential|opportunities: Here's what you should|need to|must know before the Atlanta United - Sporting KC game!

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Sporting KC have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 3-0-3 (win-draw-loss) from six matches.

These teams have little in common geographically as Sporting KC have to travel 1200 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

In these 34 matches they scored 45 goals and let in 37. Playing as the host team in the former season Atlanta United produced 9-5-3 (win-draw-lost) with 25 goals and 14 conceded.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Atlanta United's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played six games, won four matches, drawn zero and lost two.

Atlanta United have spent many days and weeks preparing for this match, with countless hours on the training pitches and three practice matches played.

Sporting KC form and stats

Let's have a look at how Sporting KC performed last season in the Major League Soccer: They landed a 3rd position in the league table after playing out 17 victories, 7 draws and 10 defeats. In total they scored 58 and conceded 40 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 8 - drew 2 and lost 7 with 26/23 goals scored/conceded.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Sporting KC playing away, we found four games. Results were one away win, one draw and two home wins.

It's finally time to play a game of importance again as a long period of training has passed. Sporting KC have played a number of friendly games in this period, resulting in 0 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeats from three fixtures.
