Over 3.5 Goals
As you’ll read about in our second Los Angeles vs Atlanta United prediction, the two teams faced each other on three occasions in the past. Two of those matches ended with over 4.5 goals! There was a devastating and quite frankly, embarrassing 5-0 victory for Atlanta United followed by a 4-3 Los Angeles win.
Seeing as Atlanta United were involved in 60 goals throughout the 16 games they played this season, it’s very likely that Thursday’s brawl will have plenty of goals as well. Especially, now, when Los Angeles are knocked down.
Draw or Atlanta United
Sure, everything works against our Los Angeles vs Atlanta United prediction but hear us out. While Los Angeles are the 2022 MLS champions, we fancy Atlanta United’s odds for the 8th of June as the visitors seem like the sort of team that can snatch points against anyone.
If coach Gonzalo Pineda manages to find a cure for his lackluster backline, Atlanta United will transform into title frontrunners, according to our soccer experts.
The two teams collided three times and it’s fair to consider Atlanta United the undeniable dominant force in this rivalry. Pineda’s side won two games confidently while losing at BMO Stadium with a thrifty 4-3 which could’ve easily been 4-4.

Los Angeles odds: -151 – 58.0%
Draw odds: +330 – 22.0%
Atlanta United odds: +375 – 20.0%
Our favorite Los Angeles vs Atlanta United prediction – over 3.5 goals, has everything you need – great odds at +142 and a solid success chance at 41.3%. That being said, we also have to acknowledge the fact Los Angeles are the bookmakers’ expected winners with a staggering 58.0% win probability ahead of Thursday’s match against Atlanta United. The visitors’ odds are priced at +375 which only gives Pineda’s boys a 20.0% shot at the three points at BMO Stadium.
Los Angeles vs Atlanta United Lineups & Team News
Los Angeles
Coach Cherundolo’s boys couldn’t cope with the pressure in the CONCACAF Champions League and lost 3-1 on aggregate against in-form Leon. The Mexicans were certainly not the better of the two teams in the rematch at BMO Stadium, however, a second back-to-back victory was recorded on the 5th of June as coach Larcamon’s players fended off Los Angeles’ attacks for the final 0-1 result. It’s that sort of inconsistency from the 2023 MLS winners that made us uncertain about some of our Los Angeles vs Atlanta United predictions.
Predicted lineup – Jakupovic (GK), Palacios, Maldonado, Chiellini, Hollingshead, Tillman, Duenas, Crisostomo, Biuk, Bogusz & Opoku
Atlanta United
Hands down, Atlanta United are the most interesting team to watch this season. Just look at their statistics – 32 goals scored and 28 conceded! We saw a shocking 60 goals in only 16 games involving Atlanta United and it’s that sort of display that forced our hand for the second Los Angeles vs Atlanta United prediction you saw above.
Predicted lineup – Guzan (GK), Lennon, Robinson, Sanchez, Gutman, Rossetto, Ibarra, Almada, Araujo, Etienne & Giakoumakis
Player to Watch: Denis Bouanga
Denis Bouanga has been putting in the work this season, and as a result, he’s on top of Major League Soccer’s goalscoring charts in 2023. With 10 goals to his name, his only true rivals so far remain Nashville’s Hany Mukhtar, who also scored 10, and Atlanta United’s Giakoumakis who slid it past the goalkeepers on nine occasions, as we already mentioned previously in our Los Angeles vs Atlanta United prediction.
For the visitors to get anything out of Thursday’s brawl, they’ll have to nullify Bouanga as scoring goals is very on-brand for him these days. Sure, his team lost 3-1 on aggregate in the CONCACAF Champions League final but he was the only player at Steven Cherundolo’s disposal to score a goal. It may have been only a consolation goal but we still appreciate Bouanga’s effort to make a difference.
