Leagues Cup: Atlanta vs. Atlas Picks — United’s Poor Form to Continue? (Aug 6)

It has been a disappointing Leagues Cup campaign for both Atlas and Atlanta United, as both have already suffered early eliminations with a game to spare.

United have lost successive matches in the competition, and they could yet finish bottom of the standings. Atlanta’s most recent defeat was suffered against the ten men of Pumas UNAM over the weekend.

Atlas will also be aiming to avoid finishing bottom of their respective league standings. The Mexican club have suffered back-to-back defeats in the Leagues Cup, and have allowed five goals.
