Atlanta United v Seattle Sounders Preview and Prediction

Date/time: 15^th July 2018 (Kick-off 7 PM (GMT)

On Sunday night, Atlanta United host Seattle Sounders at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium, as the home side look to continue their impressive season so far.

The two teams head into this game having enjoyed contrasting fortunes so far this season. Atlanta are currently top of the Eastern Conference, while Seattle linger in 10^th spot in the West.

The home sides form has been slightly inconsistent of late, but they have been hard to defeat, as they have suffered just one defeat in their last eight MLS outings.

Martino’s side has been impressive in front of goal of late, scoring two or more goals in four of their last five matches.

Top Football Bookmakers

Seattle heads into this clash on the back of just two MLS wins in their last nine matches. The Sounders recent results have been unconvincing, but four points from their last two MLS games suggests that they may be on the road to recovery.

However, the Sounders recent record on the road is poor, as they have now won just two of their last ten games on their travels. Brian Schmetzer’s side has scored just five goals in their previous seven away games.

Prediction

Atlanta win and/or over 2.5 goals
