Atlanta United met a bad loss in the 2019 opener against DC United. There might be an additional reason for that, as they are also participating in the CONCACAF Champions League these days. They will return home where they will host newcomers Cincinnati on Sunday. The visitors got a tough welcome in the MLS by Seattle last week.

Atlanta United (0-1-0) are coming off a tough 0-2 loss on the road against DC United in their first league match of the season. They were terrible in the first half and should be lucky that their opponents were leading by just one goal. DC United scored another at the hour mark, and Atlanta United were unable to respond. They have played three matches in a week and this will be their fourth in a ten-day span. Cincinnati (0-1-0) actually made a solid start in the season when they took the lead on the road against the Sounders. But they fell apart after that, as Seattle had already scored three goals before the first half was over. They scored another one at the end of the match for the final 1-4 that leaves Cincinnati with a bitter taste. Cincinnati were great on the road last season (11-1-5), but in the USL.

Atlanta United are in-between their CONCACAF Champions League quarter-finals against Mexican side Monterrey. They lost by a harsh 0-3 in the first leg on Wednesday and will play the second leg next Wednesday. I don’t think this will have a lot of goals because Atlanta United need to conserve their resources ahead of a crucial match.
