Seattle have been really trying to improve lately, and have now lost just one of their last four. They will now travel to Atlanta for their next match, where they will be hosted by United on Sunday. The hosts are coming off a great result in Philadelphia and will be looking to keep it up.

Atlanta United (12-4-4) did not play a pretty first half agianst Philadelphia last week, but they withstood the pressure. They were much better in the second half, where they scored two goals in order to win by 2-0. That just their second in their last five matches (2-2-1). Atlanta United are still sitting at the top of the Eastern Conference with 40 points. They have been really good at home too (6-2-2), where they have won three of their last five (3-1-1).
Seattle (4-9-4) are coming into this match after a very uninspiring and goal-less draw on the road against New England. The two teams were unable to create valid scoring chances and they eventually split the points. Seattle are now sitting at the 10th spot of the Western Conference with 16 points after 17 matches. They are already 10 points behind the playoffs but with two less matches than Vancouver. However, they have not been very good on the road so far (2-5-2), where they have scored just 7 goals against 13 conceded.

Atlanta United are given as the favorites to win this one easily, but I don't think it will be an easy task. The Sounders have been suffering all season and are now starting to get in form. Even a draw point would be very good for Seattle, so I will back them up to cover the spread.
