Atlanta United FC are one of the newer MLS Soccer teams having been founded in 2014 and competing in their first MLS season in 2017.

Known as “The Five Stripes”, Atlanta United play their home games at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium and are owned by Arthur Blank who also owns NFL franchise Atlanta Falcons and is the co-founder of Home Dept.

Atlanta United surpassed all expectations in their inaugural season, progressing to the playoffs becoming only the third team in MLS history to do so at the first attempt. It was a remarkable achievement and one helped by Josef Martinez scoring 20 goals in 22 games in addition to the 13 goals in 35 games scored by Argentinian midfielder Hector Villalba. The fairytale ended in the first round of the playoffs at the hands of Columbus Crew. 

The following year was another successful one for Atlanta who finished second in the Eastern Conference only two points behind New York Red Bulls. Martinez added to his glowing reputation with another 33 goals in 36 games in all competitions to break the MLS scoring record.

Atlanta progressed to the MLS Cup Final in 2018 where the faced Portland Timbers.

How to bet on Atlanta United FC

Atlanta United FC have taken the MLS by surprise by being a dominant team despite them being newcomers to the competition. Massive home support, top quality coaching from Gerardo Martino and a wealth of attacking talent have seen Atlanta United become one of the most popular MLS teams.

That attacking talent has seen Atlanta United score an incredible 140 goals in their first two regular seasons. They averaged 2.03 goals scored per game in 2018 but also leaked 1.21 goals per game on average, partly because of their attacking style of play that can leave them exposed in defense.

Some 25 of their 38 games played finished with over 2.5 goals and they are often fast out of the blocks with 33 of their 38 games seeing at least one goal scored in the first half; Atlanta did not play a 0-0 draw in 2018 regular season.

Most of the positive attacking moves Atlanta United make go through Josef Martinez who has scored 53 goals in 59 games in the MLS. Atlanta do have other players who are capable of finding the back of the net, but if Martinez’s name isn’t on the team sheet, do not expect Atlanta to score a glut of goals.
