SJ Earthquakes at Atlanta United 9/21/19 - MLS Picks & Predictions

Atlanta United finally recovered their good form in their last match, as they returned to winning ways after back to back losses. They will now play host to San Jose on Saturday, who are coming off a losing streak and will fight to remain inside the playoff spots.

Atlanta United (16-11-3) had a pretty comfortable evening in Cincinnati in their last match, as they won by a strong 2-0. Prior to that they had recorded back to back losses against Columbus and Philadelphia. But they have won eight of their last ten matches. Atlanta United are still sitting at the 3rd spot of the Eastern Conference with 51 points, six behind the top. They have been really good at home (10-2-3) scoring 30 and conceding just 12 goals so far. But they have not kept a single clean sheet in their last four there.

San Jose (13-12-5) took the lead in their away match against New York City, but ended up losing that match by 1-2. They have now lost two in a row, and five of their last seven matches, only failing to score once though. San Jose are sitting at the 6th spot of the Western Conference with 44 points, one behind the LA Galaxy. Their away record has been nothing special (3-9-3), and they have also lost each of their last five.
