A High-Stakes Match for The Reds | Atlanta United vs Toronto FC

The match for the 23rd round of the MLS is approaching, with Toronto FC at a critical point in their season, while Atlanta United hosts them as TFC’s direct contenders.

This match will be played on June 29th, the last game of the month for Toronto FC, who must be eager to end what has been one of the worst months for the club. Out of 4 matches, they haven't won a single one (3 losses, 1 draw), securing just 1 point out of a possible 12.

Toronto FC cannot afford to miss another opportunity to secure a positive result in this match. Their torment has been maintaining leads, as the team struggles with fatigue and efficiency in front of goal.

The Rematch: Toronto FC vs. Atlanta United

These teams have already faced each other once this season in the MLS. On March 23rd, Toronto FC won 2-0 at BMO Field against Atlanta United, showing solid organization and benefiting from Prince Owusu's great form. In that match, Lorenzo Insigne suffered an injury and only played 45 minutes, but he will be available for the June 29th match.

There are no clear favorites in the preview of this encounter. In the last 5 years, these two teams have faced off 16 times, resulting in 6 wins for TFC, 6 draws, and 4 wins for Atlanta United. A very even history, but slightly in favor of Toronto FC.

This match will be a battle on the field, as both teams are from the Eastern Conference. Toronto FC is in 8th place, and Atlanta United in 9th, making this a crucial match to determine who will hold onto the 8th position in the conference.

Therefore, a loss for TFC could mean dropping down to possibly 10th place, which would be detrimental to the team. However, it is hoped that this does not happen and that Herdman, who is in charge of the team, can significantly improve the entire TFC squad.
