Match Forecast:
– With two very strong attacking set pieces, it is highly probable that a goal will come off of a set piece.
– Atlanta is a team that likes to counter-attack but they are playing against an opponent that tends to play very aggressively, which poses the challenge of breaking down the opponent’s defense.
– Given Atlanta’s strong ability to come back from losing positions, it is possible for them to come back from behind and win the game.
– Both teams need to work on avoiding offside and defending against attacks down the wings. This could lead to goals being conceded on both sides.
– There may be many fouls committed due to the aggressive play styles of both teams, leading to many free kicks being awarded.
