There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Major League Soccer match only four days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Inter Miami.

This stadium uses grass, unlike Atlanta United's home stadium. The visitors last 30 games on grass have ended in 7 wins, 5 draws and 18 losses.

Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 1900 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.

Heartbreak before that as Montreal lost 1-2 at New England's place.

Atlanta United form and stats

Atlanta United have only collected 5 points from their away games in the Major League Soccer, after 0-5-4 (9 played). The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Atlanta United, who have now gone eleven games without a victory. The Montreal Impact game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Atlanta, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 2-3 versus Orlando City (placed 2nd). Marcelino Moreno got a match rating of 8.03 in that game, top player of the team. Moreno scored one goal, hit one key pass, dribled passed the opponent 3 of 3 times and had 38 successful passes (of 43 total). Atlanta United goalkeeper Alec Kann had a great day against Orlando City, but despite making six saves the loss could not be avoided.

A 0-1 loss hosting Columbus Crew before that.

The schedule is very tough for Atlanta United now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Major League Soccer game at Columbus Crew is waiting in only three days.

The attacking power of Atlanta United when travelling is not overwhelming with 8 goals scored from 9 league matches away. Atlanta struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 14 goals conceded from these games.

Head 2 Head

This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; Atlanta United - Montreal 1-0. Last seven meetings between the teams: Montreal won one, Atlanta United won five and one draw. four games with over 2,5 goals, three matches with two goals or less.
