Head-to-head statistics Atlanta United - Charlotte

Atlanta United Team Overview
Atlanta United are gradually improving after a difficult run in which they were regularly dropping points. Three wins and two defeats from their last five matches show some positive momentum over the short term. Over a longer stretch, though, Atlanta have managed just three wins from ten games, with five defeats - not enough for a consistent push among the leading sides. Their average of 1.3 goals scored per match over those ten games remains modest, while their defence has been conceding an average of 2 goals per game. The motivation is still there in terms of the table: the club are outside the play-off places but only three points off them, so every point matters as they look to close the gap.
