Atlanta United vs Toronto FC Predictions and Free Tips from our expert tipsters when the teams go head-to-head in MLS on Sunday, 5 March 2023.
Atlanta United have started their new campaign on a winning note, and will be keen to keep this streak alive.
Meanwhile, Toronto have started with a loss, and they still seem to be continuing the losing stretch they were on at the end of the previous campaign.
The latest clash ended in a 4-2 win for Atlanta, and they also won three of the past five meetings. And at this venue, the hosts have a perfect unbeaten record in the past decade, barring a single fixture.
Atlanta are high in confidence after registering a comeback win in their season-opener, and that too in the dying minutes. Note that they also lost just four times at home in the past 12-month period.
On the other hand, Toronto are on a six-fixture losing streak, and they are on a 100% losing record on the road since August. In fact, they won just three times on the road since November of 2021.
They also have a 100% winless record in h2h clashes at this venue in the past decade, barring a single game.
As things stand, Atlanta are about to deliver a winning performance.
The last two h2h clashes produced nine goals in total, while six of the past seven home appearances of Atlanta had three or more goals. Most of all, the last 12 games of Toronto witnessed 51 goals in total, and they conceded three or more goals in their past four road trips.
Likely, goals are expected quite in plenty this weekend.
Atlanta last kept a clean sheet in September, and managed to keep just two clean sheets at home in the past 11 months. They also kept just two clean sheets at home in h2h clashes all through the past decade.
As such, goals are expected from either end of the pitch this Sunday.
Atlanta scored two goals in the injury time in their opening game of the season, to complete a comeback victory. They are high in confidence, and they also have been on a good run at home for quite some time now. In fact, they lost just twice at this venue in the past 12 months.
On the other hand, Toronto are on a six-fixture losing streak, and they lost every one of their games on the road since August. And with them having a worrying h2h record over the years as well – a win for hosts Atlanta United would be the logical pick at 1.67 odd.
Going on, the latest h2h clash was a six-goal affair, and all but three h2h meetings at this venue in the past decade had three or more goals. Moreover, Toronto let in 15 goals from their four road trips combined as well.
Likely, the Over 3.5 Match Goals wager looks promising at 2.20 odd.
