Atlanta United is undefeated over its last five games with a record of 4-0-1 since losing its first game of the season. The club will try to stay hot with a road test this Saturday night visiting the Los Angeles Galaxy.
Atlanta is a +225 road underdog in Los Angeles at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com. The Galaxy are going off as +105 favorites to win the game with odds on a draw paying +270.
Atlanta United entered last weekend's home game against New York City FC on a four-game winning streak and played the road team to an exciting 2-2 draw. United now goes on the road where it will face a hostile environment in Los Angeles.
The Galaxy bounced back from a 2-0 loss to Sporting Kansas City with a 1-0 road win over Chicago last Saturday. Zlaten Ibrahimovic scored the lone goal in the match and has accounted for each of the club's last three goals including the tying and go-ahead goal two games ago against the Los Angeles Football Club.
When healthy, Ibrahimovic is one of the premier strikers in the world.
After picking up a draw on the road in Atlanta, the New York City FC, the leaders on the odds to win the MLS Cup, will try to remain undefeated going off at +205 on the road against the Portland Timbers. Portland opened its season with five road games and an 0-3-2 record before finally finding its way into the win column last Saturday with a 3-2 victory over Minnesota United.
The Timbers (+125 to win, +260 to draw) take on a much tougher challenge on Sunday against the 5-0-2 New York City.
One week after giving the Timbers their first win of the season, Minnesota United will try to avoid doing the same this Sunday against the Seattle Sounders. Seattle is 0-3-1 through its first four games but is a big favorite at -280 to defeat Minnesota (+700 to win, +400 to draw) this weekend. The Sounders are the last remaining winless team in the MLS.
Sporting Kansas City currently sits atop the standings in the Western Conference with a record of 4-1-2. Kansas City is a -200 favorite in Friday night's weekend opener hosting the Vancouver Whitecaps (+575 to win, +320 to draw).
