Forge are the league’s top side as the regular season draws to a close

Forge come into this crucial match on the back of two consecutive wins and are unbeaten in their last nine matches.

⭐ Editor's Prediction
The head-to-head record tells a clear story: Forge rarely score more than one goal at Atlético's ground, managing it in just 1 of their previous 7 away visits in the Premier League. Despite the visitors' strong attacking numbers this season, the intense title race and the pressure that comes with it make an open game less likely. In our view, the best bet is Forge Team Total - Under 1.5 Goals.
