Following their loss to Seattle, Atlanta United FC step into this Wednesday’s matchup sporting a 9-3-8 record that ranks them 4^th in the Eastern Conference with 30-points on the year. At the present time, the Philadelphia Union lead the conference with 36-points on the year. With this in mind, it’s clear that Atlanta can make a push for the lead in the conference. Unfortunately for the club, they just haven’t looked that great as of late. Nevertheless, a matchup against Houston could help this team get the necessary momentum to make a push for the lead in the conference. But since the last time Atlanta United FC faced Houston they suffered a 4-0 loss, it’s clear this contest is far from an easy win.

Players to Watch: Josef Martinez (17 GP, 13 G, 5 A), Ezequiel Barco (8 GP, 4 G, 1 A), and Julian Gressel (20 GP, 3 G, 3 A).

The Dynamo blast into this Wednesday’s contest sporting an 8-3-8 record that ranks them 8^th overall in the Western Conference. Right now the West is led by the LAFC, who have racked up 46-points already this season. And since Houston is sitting on 27 themselves, it’s clear they won’t be challenging Atlanta anytime soon. They can however, try and bolster their playoff standing in the coming weeks. All in all the odds aren’t giving Houston much of a shot here. Considering the aforementioned upset, there could be a lot of value had in taking Atlanta straight up.

Players to Watch: Mauro Manotas (18 GP, 7 G, 4 A), Alberth Elis (15 GP, 7 G, 7 A), and Memo Rodriguez (12 GP, 5 G, 2 A).
