This is an MLS regular-season meeting with both sides looking to put points on the board. CheckLive has not installed a clear favourite for this one, so the contest is genuinely open — and a draw has to be part of the thinking.
Minnesota United come in with mixed results: a 1-1 draw with Real Salt Lake, a 3-1 win over Atlante, but defeats to Tigres UANL and Juárez FC, plus a 1-1 draw with San Diego FC. Atlanta United have lost four of their last five, the exception being a 2-1 win at New York Red Bulls, with losses to Philadelphia Union, New England Revolution and Nashville SC around a 2-2 draw with Charlotte FC.
The sides have met once before, and Minnesota United won that meeting. With both teams leaking goals recently, the key thing to watch is whether either defence can tighten up enough to take control.
