St. Louis City vs Atlanta United Prediction: pick a side? No thanks

St. Louis City are heading home once again for this week's MLS fixture and they host Atlanta United. 

St. Louis City's struggles are no longer news and it's clear the team is in dire need of a good result. The St. Louis City fans can't put any more expectations on the team as the team have played the last 7 games without recording a single win. And For Atlanta United, they are also not in the discussion of decent teams at the moment but they believe they can snatch a win against St. Louis City. 

According to current ranking, St. Louis City is ranked 12th on the western conference table with 18 points and Atlanta United is ranked 9th on the eastern conference table with 20 points.

Whether St. Louis City SC can turn their situation around is totally unknown, but the fans are beginning to lose hope in the team. 

St. Louis City are coming off back-to-back defeats in their last 2 games. In their last 5 games, they had 3 defeats and 2 draws. They are also without a win in 7 straight league games and their record during that period was 5 defeats and 2 draws. Finally in their last 10 games, they had just 1 win, 4 draws and 5 defeats. 

St. Louis City were once again disappointing in their last match against Colorado Rapids at home. They lost the game 3-0 in the end. They went behind in just 9 minutes and then they had the opportunity to level the score from the penalty spot in the 25th minute, but Eduard Löwen struck the woodwork. And in the second half, they conceded 2 more goals to end the game 3-0. 

A summary of St. Louis City's stats were:- 54% possession, 2 big chances, 4 corner kicks and 4 shots on target. 

In the grand scheme of things, Atlanta United are no different from St. Louis City this season. They have been absolutely shocking since the start of the season and a handful of wins doesn't change that. 

Atlanta managed to get a win in their last game against DC United, which was a relief to the team. They are currently unbeaten in 2 straight league games and in their last 5, they recorded 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats. Also, in Atlanta's last 10 games, they won 2 games, lost 5 and drew 3 games. 

Atlanta United had a narrow win against DC United last week, as the game ended 1-0 in the end. The game was tight for most parts and looked to be heading to a draw until the 79th minute when Thiago Almada scored the only goal for Atlanta United. The game stayed that way until the end and Atlanta won. 

A summary of Atlanta's stats against DC United was:- 46% possession, 1 big chance, 4 goalkeeper saves, 2 corner kicks and 4 shots on target.

According to the h2h, Atlanta United and St. Louis City played just 1 game against each other and Atlanta United won that game.

Picking Atlanta United over St. Louis City in this game is just as terrible as picking St. Louis over Atlanta. They are both consistently terrible and the result of this game doesn't change the narrative for both teams. 

St. Louis City will need a big performance to win and so would Atlanta United.
