Tasked with trying to end Charlotte FC's winning streak at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium this Saturday, Atlanta United will have a tough task on their hands this Major League Soccer this weekend. The Five Stripes come into the clash without having won any of their last games, while the visitors are returning to top form on the back of recent results.
Atlanta United team news
Atlanta United are having an extremely difficult season and could end up closing the regular season with their worst performance since they started playing in the MLS. Last year they reached the semi-finals of the MLS Cup, but are very close to missing out on the playoffs, having taken just 20 points from 22 games.
With only four wins all season (the last in March), the Five Stripes are on a run of three consecutive defeats followed by three consecutive draws. The duo of Derrick Williams and Stian Gregersen will continue to miss out, while Ajani Fortune is unlikely to return this weekend.
Atlanta United predicted lineup vs Charlotte FC: Guzan; Amador, Abram, Morales, Lennon; Muyumba, Slisz; Lobjanidze, Miranchuk, Almiron; Latte Lath
Charlotte FC team news
On the other hand, Charlotte FC are enjoying a more encouraging moment, having won their first back-to-back games since April. Resuming the performance seen at the start of the season, the Crowns began the season with six wins in their opening nine games, followed by a very difficult run of two wins in 12 games.
Occupying 9th place in the Eastern Conference with 32 points from 23 games, Charlotte are only two points off automatic qualification. In terms of absentees, right-back Nathan Byrne remains sidelined due to a neck injury suffered in April, while Souleyman Doumbia could be out of action for the fourth consecutive game.
