Venue: Orlando City Stadium (25527 seats)

This could be an interesting match as Orlando City have their presumed home advantage while Atlanta United are ahead 11 points in the Major League Soccer table.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Atlanta United have a different surface at their stadium (artificial turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 15-4-15 (win-draw-loss) from 34 matches.

Atlanta United form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Atlanta United, who have the fewest conceded goals (30) in Major League Soccer, so far with only 12 points returning home. The records show 4-0-8 (win-draw-lose). The fact that Atlanta United have won four matches in a row should scare the hosts and makes this contest more interesting. Momentum is building for Atlanta United in their away games, having won their two previous outings.

Atlanta United play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 2-0 victory visiting Portland Timbers. That result followed a home victory 2-1 versus New York City.

After this away game Atlanta United return home for a US Open Cup game against Minnesota United. That game is only four sleeps after this.

Atlanta United are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 16 away goals from 12 games. In the opposite end, Atlanta United have conceded 21 goals in their away games.
