The MLS is back in action with another round of matches this weekend as Atlanta United lock horns with Orlando City in a crucial encounter at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Saturday.
Orlando City are currently in seventh place in the MLS Eastern Conference standings and have been inconsistent so far this season. The away side slumped to a damaging 4-0 defeat at the hands of Real Salt Lake this week and will need to bounce back in this match.
Atlanta United, on the other hand, are in sixth place in the league table at the moment and have stepped up to the plate this year. The hosts suffered a narrow 2-1 defeat against New England Revolution in their previous game and have a point to prove this weekend.
Atlanta United have built up a formidable home record and are in excellent shape going into this game. Thiago Almada has been brilliant for his side this season and will look to make his mark this weekend.
Orlando City were stunned by Real Salt Lake this week and will look to mount an immediate comeback. Both teams are evenly matched at the moment and could play out a draw in this fixture.
