Toronto FC vs Atlanta United - 24/03/2024

2329

The Reds have managed to win just one of their last seven MLS meetings with the Five Stripes as the two sides prepare to lock horns on Saturday.

Toronto FC have struggled to get the better of Atlanta United in recent years, but the Canadian outfit have made a strong start to the 2024 season.

We have collected all the important stats and trends for Saturday’s showdown. On top of that, Forebet’s algorithm is ready to reveal its prediction. Ready? Let’s go!

Toronto FC head into this game on the back of a 2-1 defeat to New York City, despite racking up 13 shots at Yankee Stadium last weekend.

That was Toronto’s first loss of the season, however, as they kicked off their campaign with two wins and one draw, keeping three clean sheets in the process.

Having conceded just two goals in four games this term, TFC boast the joint-best defensive record in the entire league, highlighting their strength at the back.

That said, the Reds have managed to win just three of their last 20 Major League Soccer matches, following a dismal end to the previous campaign.

Meanwhile, Atlanta United claimed a 2-0 victory over Orlando City last time out, courtesy of goals from Saba Lobzhanidze and Giorgos Giakoumakis.

That means the Five Stripes head into Saturday’s clash on a two-game winning streak, having thrashed the New England Revolution 4-1 in their previous outing.

Despite playing a game fewer than all but two teams in the Eastern Conference, only four teams have scored more goals than Atlanta’s six this season.

Still, there is no hiding the fact that Atlanta have won just two of their last 19 away league games, underlining their struggles on the road.

Head-to-head: As we already mentioned, Atlanta have avoided defeat in six of their previous seven Major League Soccer meetings with Toronto.

In terms of the all-time H2H statistics, Atlanta have won four meetings, while Toronto have won five encounters, with the other six clashes ending in a draw.

Team news: Toronto’s injury list contains Nicksoen Gomis (wrist), Sean Johnson (thigh), Richie Laryea (thigh), Brandon Servania (knee) and Jonathan Osorio (hip).

By contrast, Atlanta have reported no injury problems ahead of Saturday’s clash, meaning the visitors boast a clean bill of health.

Given that Atlanta have netted six goals in their last two matches, the Five Stripes will be confident of notching another convincing win this weekend.

Forebet predicts that Atlanta United will score over 1.5 goals and keep a clean sheet on their way to defeating Toronto FC.
