Atlanta United<\/a> host Charlotte FC<\/a> at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Saturday, August 29 (7:30 PM ET \/ 6:30 PM CT \/ 4:30 PM PT).<\/p>\n

Atlanta United and Charlotte FC both go into this one with clean injury lists, so the head coaches have their full options to pick from. For the hosts, Aleksey Miranchuk is the offensive focal point with 5 goals and 38 chances created this season, flanked by Miguel Almir\u00f3n, who has fired 40 shots and created 31 chances of his own. Charlotte’s side is built around Pep Biel<\/a>, who has produced 11 goals from 52 shots, with Ashley Westwood pulling the strings behind him with 33 chances created.<\/p>\n

This has the look of a tight, low-scoring collision rather than a shootout. Atlanta sit 12th in the East on 21 points with a -11 goal difference, while Charlotte sit fifth on 32 points and a +6 mark, firmly in the playoff picture<\/a>. Charlotte’s control in the game’s key moments \u2014 Biel’s movement in behind, Westwood’s range as a creator \u2014 should be enough to nose it in a low-scoring finish that goes their way, 1-2.<\/p>\n
