Charlotte are clear favourites to win this MLS clash against Atlanta United FC, based on superior league position, stronger recent form, and a solid head-to-head record at home.
Form Analysis: Charlotte have won two in a row and sit 6th in the standings with 21 points, while Atlanta are 14th with just 11 points and have lost their last two matches. Charlotte average 1.2 goals scored and 1.0 conceded per game, compared to Atlanta's 1.2 scored and 2.0 conceded, indicating a leaky defence for the visitors.
Key Factors: The home side have won all five of their last home meetings against Atlanta, a perfect H2H record. Atlanta also have two key players doubtful (Mihaj and Almiron), weakening their midfield and attack. Charlotte's defence is rated stronger (58% vs 42%) in the statistical comparison.
Conclusion: With home advantage, a strong H2H record, and Atlanta's poor form and defensive issues, Charlotte are well placed to secure another victory.
