Atlanta United vs. Los Angeles FC Betting Predictions
Atlanta United Preview
Atlanta was dealt a tough blow as they will be without their two household names upfront Thiago Almada and Georgios Giakoumakis due to injury. Their absences will be felt due to the fact they have eight goals combined between the two players, making up for just over half the total goals the Five Stripes have notched so far in the campaign.
Filling the void upfront is 31-year-old Jamal Thiaré. In 253 minutes played in 2024, Thiaré has hit the back of the net on three instances. Jamal is making the most of his opportunities when he’s presented with them, per 90 minutes his right-footed darts are finding their way towards the net averaging 1.42 shots on target.
The most lethal attacker on this roster is Denis Bouanga, who leads the club in the goals department with eight. Not only can the Gambian international devastate the opposition, but he can also pick apart the defense to set up a goal as he has five assists to his account in 2024. Last season when LAFC hosted Atlanta, Bouanga was all over the 18-yard box bombarding the opposing keeper with eight total shots made with four hitting the target.
Through 13 MLS matches this campaign, Timothy Tillman has equaled his goal tally from last year, bagging four goals. The American midfielder is enjoying a splendid start to 2024. As impressive as his offensive numbers are, his defensive stats deserve all the praise also. The 25-year-old leads his peers at midfield in tackles won with 33 and also has close to a league-best with the most duels won with 102.
At first thought, it's hard to back Atlanta in this encounter as stated above with two key pieces up front missing in action. That said backing the Five Stripes is more about siding with a stronger home team rather than a weak away-performing club like LAFC. The Boys in Gold in six MLS away tilts have only accumulated four points. Burying the ball in the net has also haunted this squad currently averaging 1.17 goals per game away from home. Mercedes Benz Stadium hasn’t been the home fortress like it used to be compared to other campaigns, but still, Atlanta has more than it takes to grab a result at home which they have done in 57 percent of their home matches up to date.
