Atlanta United vs Orlando City prediction and betting tips on March 18, 2024
Game Prediction
At a time when the season is already entering its final segment in Europe, football tournaments are mostly just gaining momentum in America. The regular cycle has finally begun in the MLS. Atlanta United and Orlando City will play there on Monday night. The experts of the website have made a prediction for the confrontation on March 18, 2024.
Atlanta United is determined to show itself at least now
“The Five Stripes” are unique in that they, starting in 2018, immediately won the MLS play-offs. After that, they added the United States Open Cup and the North American Champions Cup. Still, then the results deteriorated sharply, and disastrous performance (finishing in 23rd, penultimate place) and eliminations in the 1st round of the play-offs alternated. For instance, there was 6th place in the East and another defeat in the 1st round of elimination games made by Columbus in the previous season. Crew also beat the team in the 1st round of the new championship. Still, the struggle with New England Revolution brought a crushing victory – 4-1.
Orlando City is currently playing a busy schedule
“The Lions” won the United States Open Cup in 2022, which remains the only trophy for the newly formed team. At first, it didn’t make it to the MLS play-offs 5 times, and then it didn’t overcome the quarter-final stage. Nevertheless, now it plays parallel to the CONCACAF Champions League, where the club eliminated Cavalry, but lost to Tigres in Mexico after a goalless draw at the home arena. Speaking about the MLS, the team started with a goalless draw on the native field in the battle against Montreal; it had nothing to show in the confrontation with Inter from Miami, losing devastatingly in Miami – 0-5. There was no such failure in the game with Minnesota, but the team still lost again.
Previous head-to-head matches
The clubs alternately beat each other. Recently, “the Five Stripes” alternated between 4 wins and draws. Still, “the Lions” were stronger on the away field in the previous summer.
