Football betting preview: Atlanta United favourites when Toronto visits

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

This pitch has artificial turf, which is not Toronto's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on artificial turf Toronto have performed like this: Played ten matches resulting in 3 wins, 2 draws and 5 defeats with the goal stats 14-18 (scored/conceded). Toronto have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1500 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Atlanta United form and stats

When playing at home, Atlanta United, who have the fewest conceded goals (8) in Major League Soccer, have managed 1 win, 2 draws and suffered 1 defeat from 4 games.

Happy days for Atlanta United in their previous game, a Major League Soccer match away at Sporting KC that ended with a 3-0 victory. Before that, Atlanta United had a home game versus Colorado Rapids which ended with a victory 1-0.

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 three games, won 2 matches, drawn 0 and lost 1.

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Atlanta United, as the Major League Soccer home game vs Orlando City is only four days away.

The Atlanta United fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium, the tally being 4 in 4 matches. On the other hand, Atlanta United have conceded 4 goals.

Toronto form and stats

Toronto have six points from their first three away games, meaning two victories and a loss.

Two travels in a row for Toronto, whose manager G. Vanney could celebrate last time after the Major League Soccer win against Orlando City. A loss against Portland Timbers was the result prior to that, in a home game.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of Toronto when being an outsider away as they are today, we find two matches with the visitors losing 1 time, drawing 0 and winning 1 game.

A new game in only three days for Toronto, the Major League Soccer home match versus Philadelphia Union. Busy days.

With an average of more than two away goals per game, Toronto are regular goalscorers on their travels. As opposed to that, Toronto have seen the ball go into their own net 4 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

Head-to-head totals (for the last four meetings): Atlanta United won 0 games, 3 matches ended with a draw and Toronto has 1 win.
