Atlanta United vs DC United Preview & Picks
Atlanta United arrive for their opening match at the Leagues Cup on the back of an impressive 2-1 win over Columbus Crew in the MLS.
DC United were humbled 4-0 by Celtic in a friendly mere days ago as their two-game winning run in the MLS was followed by a consummate defeat to their Scottish opponents.
- Atlanta are unbeaten in their last two (W1, D1)
- DC were hammered 4-0 by Celtic in their last match
- Four of the last five meetings between the sides have seen both teams score
Head-To-Head
Atlanta have won seven of their last 10 against DC, with the latter winning twice and one game ending as a draw.
Atlanta United Form
Atlanta United arrive for the Leagues Cup on the back of a battling season in the MLS, with the side sitting in ninth in the Eastern Conference after 25 matches.
Seven wins have come alongside seven draws and 11 defeats, meaning Atlanta hold the final play-off spot. Could this see the side choose to prioritise their hopes of winning the MLS rather than embarking on an extended run in the Leagues Cup?
Perhaps Atlanta's opening match will decide how they choose to play in the competition. We are backing them to notch a win in the opening game against a struggling opponent, with this ultimately seeing them take a big step towards the next round of the Leagues Cup.
DC United Form
DC United may only sit two points below Atlanta United in the Eastern Conference, but they have been enduring a frustrating run across the campaign.
Much like their opponents, the Leagues Cup may be seen as a chance to change things up or as a hindrance heading towards the business end of the season. While DC have struggled this year, they are only two points behind Atlanta in ninth in the MLS, with a win in the Leagues Cup giving them a major psychological boost ahead of the MLS run-in to come.
While DC will look to frustrate their opponents and hit them on the break, we believe that DC will slip to defeat in this one.
Verdict
We are backing Atlanta to win this one as they start their Leagues Cup campaign off with a win as both sides score.
