The MLS excitement continues in week 16 when we have exciting matchdays. Some teams will play their 15th, 16th, or 17th games; however, this only means that the season is reaching the halfway point and that, from now on, each team will have to find a way to score three points more consistently.
The mission of each one of the teams right now will be to score points, as they all want to finish among the top seven in the table and thus be able to advance to the next stage of the tournament. In the Western Conference, St. Louis City is still at the top of the table, but they are only one and three points ahead of Seattle Sounders and LAFC, respectively.
Cincinnati has slipped a bit in the Eastern Conference, as they are eight points ahead of Nashville SC. However, Philadelphia Union and New England are also fighting for second place in the table.
Now we’ll cover the inter conference match between LAFC and Atlanta United, two teams that doesn’t meet to much but always give excellent games.
When:
Wednesday, Jun 7 at 10:30 PM ET at Banc of California Stadium
Moneyline odds:
Atlanta United +360
LAFC -147
Draw Offs:

Where can I watch it?
Why Bet on LAFC?
LAFC, as in previous seasons, is playing a great championship with their sights set on lifting this season’s championship trophy.
Currently, the team is in third place in the MLS Western Conference with 8 wins, 3 draws, and 6 losses. In addition, the team has 21 goals for and 14 against, which leaves them with a goal differential of +7, and they are only three points behind first place in the table, St. Louis City.
On the other hand, it should be noted that LAFC comes into this match after three consecutive defeats, but these have not been in the league. On the contrary, they lost in the round of 16 of the U.S. Open Cup to LA Galaxy (0-2) and in the final of the CONCACAF Champions League to Club León (1-3 on aggregate).
Why Bet on Atlanta United?
Atlanta United, for their part, come into this matchday with the firm conviction of returning to the winning ways they lost three weeks ago. However, this does not detract from the fact that the team has played a great first half of the season, even though they currently occupy sixth place in the overall standings.
United come into this matchday having drawn their last three MLS games, two of them 3-3 and one 1-1. However, the team owes a huge debt defensively, as while they are the highest-scoring team in the tournament, they have conceded the most goals with 28.
Atlanta comes into this match on the back of a 3-3 draw against New England.
