Atlanta United
Indy Eleven
On Wednesday, July 10, in the quarterfinals of the U.S. Open Cup, Atlanta United will play at home against Indy Eleven. Analysts from Dailysports have prepared a forecast and bets for this match.
Atlanta United
Atlanta United, which was considered one of the favorites to win the MLS before the season, is having a rather weak season. After 22 matches of the MLS regular season, Atlanta is in 10th place in the Eastern Conference with 24 points. During the season, Atlanta has already changed its head coach, but this only helped in the first few matches. The results soon began to decline again, and last week Atlanta also lost its star player Thiago Almada, who transferred to Botafogo for 20 million euros and will move to Lyon in the winter.
Atlanta approaches the match against Indy Eleven with a series of two consecutive defeats. In the previous round, Atlanta suffered a 2-5 away defeat to Real Salt Lake, and before that, they lost 1-2 to New England Revolution. In the last five matches, Atlanta has earned 7 points. In the previous round of the U.S. Open Cup, Atlanta only managed to advance past Charleston Battery in a penalty shootout, and in the round of 16, they defeated Charlotte Independence 3-0.
Indy Eleven
Indy Eleven competes in the USL Championship, where they are currently in third place in the Eastern Conference. The club from Indianapolis has collected 30 points in 17 matches, trailing the leader by 8 points with one match in hand. Indy Eleven is likely to be one of the main contenders for the overall victory in the USL Championship.
In their previous match, Indy Eleven played away against Rhode Island, ending in a thrilling 3-3 draw. The game seemed to be going in favor of Indy Eleven, but they conceded a crucial goal in the 90+3 minute. Before that, Indy Eleven lost 0-1 to Orange County. However, prior to that defeat, the Indianapolis club had an impressive run of 8 consecutive wins. In the U.S. Open Cup, Indy Eleven has not conceded a single goal so far. In the round of 16, they defeated San Antonio 2-0, and in the round of 16, they thrashed Detroit City 3-0.
