Atlanta United vs Charlotte FC Prediction and Betting Tips | May 13th 2023

Atlanta United will be looking to snap their three-game losing streak when they welcome Charlotte FC to the Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Saturday.

The Crown head into the weekend fresh off the back of reaching the US Open Cup quarter-finals and will be looking to build on that result.

Atlanta United failed to arrest their slump in form as they fell to a 2-1 defeat at the hands of 10-man Minnesota United last Sunday.

Gonzalo Pineda’s side have now lost three straight games across all competitions, a run which condemned them to a third-round exit from the US Open Cup courtesy of a 2-1 defeat against USL Championship side Memphis 901 FC.

For all their recent struggles, Atlanta United currently sit fourth in the Eastern Conference table, level on 18 points with third-placed Nashville and six points off top spot.

Charlotte FC, on the other hand, picked up a hard-earned 1-0 victory over Orlando City in midweek to reach the quarter-finals of the US Open Cup.

The Crown have now won all but one of their last five matches across all competitions, with a 3-0 loss to DC United on April 30 being the exception.

With 12 points from their opening 11 games, Charlotte FC are currently 12th in the East, three points above rock-bottom New York Red Bulls.
