Atlanta United vs DC United Match Analysis & Prediction
12/05/2024 2:30 am
DC United will travel to the Mercedes-Benz Stadium to face Atlanta United this weekend and look to extend their unbeaten run to three matches.
Both teams are currently midtable in the MLS Eastern Conference, with three points having the chance to propel either side further up the division.
Atlanta head into this contest sitting 10th, and while they will be hoping to overtake their opponents this weekend, there will also be a desire to push away from those below them.
The club sits just five points above the New England Revolution, who are currently propping up the Eastern Conference, and progressing up the division will be the focus due to that.
So far this season, it has been a tale of two halves, with the Five Stripes performing well at home but failing to secure a single victory on their travels.
Atlanta responded to losing their latest league game by beating Charlotte Independence 3-0 in the US Open Cup in midweek, and the team should have taken some confidence from that result.
Atlanta have had no problem finding the back of the net so far this season, with only Inter Miami scoring more goals at home than them in the Eastern Conference, and that is something they will look to exploit this weekend.
DC United will have to be wary of the attacking threats that their opponents possess, notably since they have failed to win a match on the road this season.
They might currently sit three places above Atlanta, but their form on their travels has been concerning to fans after they have drawn four and lost one.
The Black-and-Red could climb as high as fifth position, depending on other results, highlighting how tight things are in the league.
They head into this contest after two matches without a loss, the most recent being a 2-2 draw against the Philadelphia Union, but Troy Lesesne will have bee frustrated as he witnessed his side throw away a two-goal lead in that game.
Atlanta United vs. DC United Head to head
In the previous 16 meetings between these two teams, Atlanta have claimed nine victories while DC United have won six, and they have drawn once. DC United have scored 22 goals and conceded 29 in the process.
