My main betting prediction is 'Atlanta United To Win And Both Teams To Score' priced at (3.00).

Atlanta United Recent 5 Games

Toronto FC Recent 5 Games

Midweek action in the MLS starts with Atlanta United playing host to Toronto FC at the Mercedes Benz Stadium. Both teams have had contrasting starts to the 2019 season with Atlanta United struggling down in 8th place with Toronto FC putting behind there poor season last year and are within the play off places.

Atlanta United will come in to this game with moral high after two successvie wins first over Colorado Rapids to claim there first home win of the season and then over last years western conference champions Sporting Kansas City. 

The latter they were able to put in a stand out performance against a injury ridden SKC side as they claimed 3 points on the road thanks to two from MVP winner Josef Martinez and a solo effort from the resurgent Ezequiel Barco. They won the game 3 goals to nil getting a shut out in the process. 

In all honesty SKC were poor and Atlanta showed a performance similar to last year that saw them win the cup. Unfortunately it has been slow progress under Frank De Boer with goals being at a premium however this was a great showing from the five stripes.

Toronto FC have had a mixed season so far despite being in a respectable 4th place in the east, despite losing big names in the summer. They come into this game after dispatching 2 goals against a Orlando City side that have struggled to get some form going this term. Goals from Osorio midway into the second half and a volley from sub Jay Chapman was enough to put last weeks home performance behind them and get the three points.

This one is a difficult one to call especially with Atlanta United struggles at home this season and with both teams up and down form. De Boer however seems to have managed to find a system that works having initially playing a system with 3 centre backs and two wing backs but since going back to 4 at the back they have been solid.
