Mercedes-Benz Stadium sees Sunday action as Atlanta take on Orlando – 10:00pm GMT.

This clash sees fifth play tenth, as struggling Orlando visit Mercedes-Benz Stadium to face Atlanta.

With the MLS season well into its stride, Atlanta United have managed to gain 23 points

Real Salt Lake were beaten 2-1 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, the last time that Atlanta played.

Also, Atlanta have now lost seven of their last 14 matches, a worrying statistic that has to be addressed by Manager Gonzalo Pineda. Now they have 0 matches won, 0 games lost and 0 duels drawn; that’s why they currently sit in tenth place, with a total of 23 points.

Atlanta have won five meetings, drawn three matches, and lost two matches of their 10 League matches at home this season.

A victory for Atlanta United would put them on 26 points.

Orlando City have so far accrued 29 points in this season of the MLS

With the memory of their last match, doubtless on their minds, a (1-1) draw against Colorado Rapids, Orlando will be keen to improve on that result in this game.

Also, Orlando have developed a habit of drawing football matches this season, which is reflected by their position in the table. With a fifth position in the league and 0 wins, 0 losses and 0 draws, they currently have 29 points in the League.

Orlando’s away record is remarkable and poses a significant threat to Atlanta. In the 10 games they’ve played on the road this season, they have so far won three games, drawn five fixtures, and lost two meetings.

A win in this fixture would take Orlando City’s points to 32 in the League.
