In this match, Atlanta United will try to inflict more misery on Orlando City

After losing their opening game against Columbus, Atlanta United have bounced back in impressive fashion. In their last match, Atlanta United defeated New England by 4-1 thanks to a perfect hattrick scored by Georgios Giakoumakis. After finishing 6th in the MLS last season, Atlanta United hopes to fight for the title this season. The star forward at Atlanta United is on fire this season, so they will be confident of taking all three points.

Orlando City started the season with two wins and one draw in its first three matches, but has since struggled to carry on its winning streak, losing three of their last four matches. The team has shown it has the ability to turn their season around and will be hoping to bounce back in this match after finishing second in the league last year.

Georgios Giakoumakis (Atlanta United)

He has been a great signing for Atlanta United. Georgios Giakoumakis has scored three goals in two matches for them this season. He finished second last year in the Golden Boot, and he has carried on with his impressive form this season as well.

He scored a memorable hattrick against New England in their last match to give Atlanta their first victory of the season. Throughout this season, he will play a key role in Atlanta’s quest for the title.
