Atlanta United team news and form: Pineda’s boys need to do better
As we mentioned earlier in our Atlanta United vs Los Angeles prediction, coach Pineda’s players are barely performing. They were even close to getting kicked out of the U.S. Open Cup a couple of days ago, as they had to rely on the penalty roulette against Charleston Battery to advance to the next stage of the competition.
Predicted lineup: Guzan (GK), Hernandez, Gregersen, Cobb, Lennon, Slisz, Muyumba, Wiley, Firmino, Lobzhanidze & Rios

Player to watch: Denis Bouanga
As we stated earlier in our professional Atlanta United vs Los Angeles predictions, Cherundolo decided to rely mostly on his substitutes in the U.S. Open Cup game a few days back. However, he was smart enough to use Denis Bouanga.
Gabonese winger essential for LAFC
Denis Bouanga was the top goalscorer in Major League Soccer last season and he is surely performing his heart out for the team in 2024 as well. After all, the winger now has eight goals and six assists to his name.
