Command Analysis
Orlando City
USACurrent form
Orlando City had to work hard in the 1/8 to get past Charlotte. Despite being the clear favorites of that pair, the hosts of the upcoming match were able to advance to the quarterfinals thanks to a penalty shootout in the third match. The team is also considered the favorite in the upcoming series, but the opponent has already surprised all fans of overseas football when they knocked out the main contender for victory, Inter Miami, in a three-match series, so Orlando will clearly have a hard time. Especially since in October of this year they lost to this club with a score of 1:2 on their home field.
Disqualifications and injuries
Stadjduhar will not appear on the field due to a leg injury.
Interesting trends for betting
- Orlando City have won six of their last seven home games
- The hosts have scored in four of their last five matches
Estimated line-up: Gallese - Santos, Janson, Schlegel, Thorhalson - Araujo, Cartagena - Angullo, Ojeda, Torres - Enrique.
Atlanta United
USACurrent form
Atlanta, led by Rob Valentino, is making history. Until the last seconds of the regular season, it was unclear whether they would be able to participate in the playoffs, and only a victory over the upcoming opponent allowed them to jump on the last train. In the 1/8 finals, the team got to Inter Miami, where no one even thought that a third match would take place, but the guests of the upcoming match knocked Messi and company out of the playoffs, winning the final match with a score of 3:2.
Disqualifications and injuries
Lennon and Mosquera will be out with injuries.
Interesting trends for betting
- Atlanta is unbeaten in six of its last seven away games.
- The visitors have scored in ten matches in a row
Estimated lineup: Guzan - Hernandez, Williams, Abram - Amador, Muyumba, McCarthy, Slish, Lobzhanidze - Tiare, Miranchuk.

1.62Tip and bets
Atlanta are underdogs, but we wouldn't be so sure. The visitors are clearly in high spirits thanks to their win over Inter Miami, plus it been just over a month since the team beat their upcoming opponent at this very stadium.
Orlando City didn't show anything interesting in their match against Charlotte, so we're inclined to think that the visitors will be able to win and create a lead for themselves before the return match.
Our prediction is Atlanta victory with odds of 4.80
Bet on total
Over the last 1.5 years, the teams have played each other four times, and in three matches both teams managed to score. Considering that there is at least a second match to come, the opponents are unlikely to close in their penalty area, and, as we believe, both opponents will be able to score.
Our prediction is both teams to score with odds of 1.63
Bet on corners
Based on all of the above, it is clear that in this game we expect a tough fight, in which many over-totals will be broken, including the number of corner kicks.
Our prediction is total over 9.5 corners with odds of 1.83
