Atlanta Utd Preview – Can Atlanta win three on trot?
Atlanta United will be bidding for a third league win on the trot on Wednesday night when they play host to Toronto in this all-Eastern Conference clash at their Mercedes-Benz Stadium and in turn keep the pressure on the top seven of the division.
Back-to-back wins against Columbus Crew 3-2 away from home and a 1-0 home win over Los Angeles FC will give Atlanta a much-needed boost ahead of this encounter and the hosts will be motivated for a third win here as all three points could see them move to within two points of 7th placed Montreal.
Atlanta’s Moreno (6 goals) and Martinez (5 goals) lead the way but midfielder Barco has produced promising displays of late and the hosts will look to cash in here.
Toronto Preview – Can Toronto lift off bottom?
A 2-1 loss at home to New England at their BMO Filed last time out in the MLS has resulted in Toronto dropping to bottom place in the Eastern Conference and this result also extended Toronto’s winless streak to four matches overall.
An earlier 3-0 defeat on the road at Philadelphia Union along with draws against Nashville and New York City have dumped Toronto to the basement and having won just two of their last 15 matches overall, the Canadian outfit may well struggle in Atlanta as well.
Both of these wins were recorded on their travels but have been Toronto’s highlights in an otherwise poor sequence of results away from home as the visitors have also had to endure nine defeats within their last 12 away games, while forwards Altidore and Akinola are both out injured.
