Los Angeles FC v Atlanta United

Los Angeles FC vs Atlanta United Preview

Western Conference side, Los Angeles FC, know that they can draw level on points with the conference leaders, St Louis City, if they take all three points at home at their BMO Stadium against visitors, Atlanta United, and having suffered just one defeat in their last 15 matches overall, the hosts look in good shape to do just that.

Los Angeles have picked up no fewer than 10 wins during this 15-match period while the hosts still remain unbeaten on home turf, winning five of their six matches played to date and dropping just two points by way of a 1-1 draw with Sporting Kansas City.

Nevertheless, wins registered against Portland Timbers, New England, Dallas, Austin and San Jose Earthquakes place Los Angeles in a strong position ahead of this midweek clash and the bigger picture shows that Los Angeles have produced a lengthy impressive stretch of results at home, winning 17 of their last 19 home games.

By contrast, Atlanta United dropped down to sixth place in the Eastern Conference after being held to a third draw on the trot last time out with points shared in an entertaining 3-3 draw at home with New England.

This followed previous stalemates with Chicago Fire and Orlando City, both of which were away from home while the visitors have managed to win just twice in their last 10 matches overall in the MLS, both of which were recorded on home soil at their Mercedes-Benz Stadium with victories over Chicago Fire and Colorado Rapids.

However, Atlanta United continue to struggle on their travels as the visitors have failed to win any of their last seven outings on the road, drawing four and losing three - defeats at Columbus Crew, Nashville and Inter Miami suggest this upcoming trip to face an in-form Los Angeles outfit could also end in disappointment for the visitors.

Indeed, looking at the bigger picture of Atlanta's results away from home and you'll see that the away side have managed to capture just two wins out of their previous 23 games on their travels which certainly does not bode well for this upcoming trip.

Los Angeles v Atlanta United Verdict

In the only other meeting on home soil at their BMO Stadium against Atlanta United, Los Angeles ran out 4-3 winners and although there may not as many goals this time around, Los Angeles certainly look the more likely to grab the all-important three points here on Wednesday night as the hosts look to draw level at the top of the Western Conference.

Therefore, our main bet will be Los Angeles win @ 1.61

Other side bets worth considering:

Over 2.5 goals @ 1.57

Correct score: Los Angeles 3-0 @ 13.00
