Atlanta United FC vs Real Salt Lake: match statistics
Both teams are in very poor form over their last five matches, suggesting evenly matched chances. Atlanta United FC has a disastrous record with zero points at home this season and just 0.2 points per match on average overall, conceding as many as 10 goals in their last 5 games. Real Salt Lake is also unimpressive, especially away from home, where they have a 100% defeat rate this season and have yet to score in away matches. Both teams have a negative goal difference, and the xG statistics show a slight advantage for the visitors (1.0 xG for vs 1.52 xG against).
