The visiting Tampa Bay Rowdies side should be favourites in this visit to Atlanta United II, as the away team holds a 18 point advantage from their 13 league games this season.
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a USL Championship match only four days ago. This match was also played here at Fifth Third Bank Stadium. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Tampa Bay Rowdies have had more rest.
Atlanta United II form and stats
Atlanta United II's results here at Fifth Third Bank Stadium in the USL Championship have been very modest with 1 victory, 2 draws and 3 defeats. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Atlanta United II, their manager T. Annan and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.
Atlanta's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 1-2 versus Miami FC II (placed 4th). Before that match, a win away at Bethlehem Steel.
The Atlanta fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 8 in 6 matches.
