Atlanta vs Real Salt Lake Prediction: Atlanta will struggle again

Atlanta welcomes Real Salt Lake to the Mercedes-Benz Stadium for another round of MLS fixtures. Both teams come into this match desperately searching for a breakthrough after failing to pick up a win in their recent games. Both teams are also under pressure to maintain their positions in the standings as a loss here will mean a fall down the table.

Atlanta FC (LDLLW)

Atlanta FC have recorded just 1 win in their last 5 games. Since then, they have had 3 losses and 1 draw. On the goal scoring record, they have just 4 goals in their last 5 and conceded 11 in the same number of games. They are clearly a team under serious decline in both the attack and defensive units. Last time out, they were brutally trashed by Austin 3-0 on their home soil, even though they had the better statistics record in that game. Hopefully, they can put in the same energy and produce results in this match.
