Orlando City vs Atlanta United Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

The visitors had sent Lionel Messi and Co. packing in the last match.

The Major League Soccer (MLS) will resume its proceedings with a Conference semi-final clash between Atlanta United and Orlando City. Atlanta United come into this fixture after pulling an upset against a star-studded Inter Miami side. They are flying high on confidence and will look to continue their winning momentum. The Five Stripes will reply to their offensive style of play and look to outscore their opponents come Monday.

Orlando City SC on the other hand emerged victorious against Charlotte FC following a dominant display in the ‘best of three’ series. After a comfortable win in the first game, Orlando City won the next two games in penalties and secured a semi-final berth. The Lions will count upon their home support and relatively strong record against Atlanta United at home to take them over the line in this game.

Players to watch 

Facundo Torres (Orlando City SC)

The Montevideo-born winger has established himself as one of the best players for Orlando City SC. Facundo has been a driving force behind his side’s miraculous run so far and will be expected to continue in the same fashion. His high pressing, playmaking and passing abilities set him apart. With 16 goals and three assists, the Uruguayan international has racked up 19 goal contributions in the MLS this season.

Brad Guzan (Atlanta United FC)

Brad Guzan will be the man to watch out for Atlanta United. He stood tall against Lionel Messi and his star-studded side in the playoffs fixture and pulled off seven massive saves. Even at 40, Guzan has shown no signs of slowing down and has aged like fine wine. His phenomenal leadership skills coupled with his heroics under the bar were one of the reasons behind Atlanta’s triumph over Inter Miami.
