Colorado Rapids at Atlanta United 4/27/19 - MLS Picks & Predictions

Two teams that are sitting at the bottom of their respective Conferences will lock horns on Saturday, when Atlanta United will host Colorado. Defending champions Atlanta United have been nothing like the team they were last season. Colorado have been terrible this season and they have yet to win.

Atlanta United (1-3-2) were really good in their home match against FC Dallas but only managed to score a consolation goal at the end of the match for the final 2-1 loss. Atlanta United are still stuck at the bottom of the Eastern Conference with 5 points, just as many as the Red Bulls. They have by far the worst offense with just five goals, but they also have the 2nd best defense with just eight conceded. Colorado (0-6-2) temporarily pulled even in their away match against Chicago Fire but they conceded three second half goals to lose by 1-4. Colorado have now lost five in a row and have not won a single match so far. But they have only failed to score once so far. The Rapids are also stuck at the bottom of the Western Conference with just two points after eight matches. They have lost all four away matches, conceding 12 goals in the process.

Atlanta United won both previous matches these two played against each other. This season they have been a shell of themselves, but their defense is working. Colorado have been worse, they concede at an alarming rate but they do also score. This is a really hard match to predict since the two teams play in contradicting ways. I will take my chances with the home team to cover the spread.
