Comment les deux équipes abordent-elles ce match ?
Atlanta United finally snapped an eight-game winless streak with a comprehensive victory over FC Cincinnati, where four different players got on the scoresheet. They have collected 13 points from 15 games and sit 12th in the Eastern Conference. While their attack has shown flashes of brilliance, defensive vulnerabilities remain a concern, conceding 26 goals so far.
De l'autre côté, Orlando City have transformed their season with a remarkable run, boasting a 12-game unbeaten streak that includes three straight wins. Sitting fourth in the East with 27 points, they have struck a fine balance between attack and defence—scoring 27 goals and conceding just 16, the second-fewest in the conference. Their recent 3-0 away win over Inter Miami highlighted their solidity at the back.
Nos prévisions
Given Orlando City’s defensive strength on the road and Atlanta United’s struggles at home—losing their last two matches without scoring—we expect the visitors to maintain their momentum. Orlando’s compact backline and ability to hit on the break could prove decisive against a side that has leaked goals regularly.
We are predicting a 0-2 win for Orlando City, with the Lions keeping a clean sheet and capitalising on Atlanta’s defensive lapses. Bettors might look at backing the away win or opting for under 2.5 goals, as both teams could be cautious and selective in their attacking approach.

Compositions possibles
Atlanta United are likely to stick with a 3-5-2 formation, featuring Guzan in goal behind a back three of Edwards, Williams and Abram. The midfield could see Lobjanidze, Miranchuk, Slisz, Fortune and Amador working tirelessly to link defence and attack, while Latte Lath and Almirón lead the line up front.
Orlando City may line up in a 4-4-2 setup, with Gallese between the posts and a back four of Freeman, Schlegel, Jansson and Brekalo. Pasalić and Atuesta could hold midfield, flanked by Araújo and Angulo, supporting the two-pronged attack of McGuire and Muriel. This balanced XI aims to maintain shape and exploit spaces on the counter.
