Atlanta United<\/a> host Orlando City<\/a> at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Wednesday, September 9 (7:30 PM ET \/ 6:30 PM CT \/ 4:30 PM PT).<\/p>\n

No fresh absences are reported for either side, so Wednesday’s lineups should lean heavily on the players who’ve carried the scoring load all season. Atlanta will look to Aleksey Miranchuk, who leads the way with 5 goals and a team-high 38 chances created, alongside Miguel Almir\u00f3n, who has fired 41 shots and created 34 chances of his own. Orlando’s threat starts with Mart\u00edn Ojeda<\/a>, who has 11 goals and 25 shots on target, backed by Tyrese Spicer’s 6 goals and Antoine Griezmann’s 4 in a smaller sample of minutes.<\/p>\n

This one should open up rather than stay cagey. Orlando carry the sharpest finisher on the field in Ojeda and have found the net in bunches themselves this season, while Atlanta’s defense has been leaky throughout – a -13 goal difference across 22 games tells that story. Expect goals at both ends at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, with the visitors’ greater firepower up front proving the difference in a game that could easily have swung either way.<\/p>\n
