Atlanta United set to extend victorious streak against Charlotte FC after dominating Miami match

The upcoming game between Atlanta United and Charlotte FC is the highlight of the MLS weekend at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Sunday.

Gonzalo Pineda is banking on Atlanta United’s recent victory over Inter Miami to be a turning point before facing Charlotte FC this weekend.

Atlanta’s win against Miami ended a nine-game streak without a win, bringing them closer to the playoff spots, which is a positive sign for Pineda.

Pineda expressed his desire to use the win as motivation for the team, aiming to build on this success in the coming months.

He stressed the importance of winning at home to bring joy to the fans who deserve a victory after a long time without one.

On the other hand, Charlotte FC’s unbeaten streak ended with a defeat against New York Red Bulls, and Dean Smith is looking to leverage the rivalry between the clubs as motivation for the players.

Smith highlighted the significance of derbies in football, emphasizing the importance of bragging rights for the supporters.

Players to watch include Saba Lobjanidze from Atlanta, who scored a brace in the win against Miami, and Ben Bender from Charlotte, who scored his first goal of the season.

The match prediction favors Atlanta United to win based on recent performances, but Charlotte FC has shown improvement this season.

Both teams have won at home and away in their previous meetings, setting the stage for an exciting clash this weekend.
