LAF vs ATU Dream11 Match Preview, Team News, Lineups

The regular season in the Major League Soccer is often seen as a momentum gaining campaign, with the table hardly indicative of how results may pan out in the playoffs.

The pressure of the post-season is utterly different from what players feel during the regular course of the season. But certain games evoke a totally different feeling and approach, like the derbies, and no match is being touted as bigger in the MLS than the one between two teams from Los Angeles.

It was a top-of-the-table clash and Los Angeles FC were the pre-match favorites, all because of their incredible consistency.

But Zlatan Ibrahimovich was the big difference with his hat-trick separating the two sides last weekend.

Possible INs and OUTs of this game:

Los Angeles FC Probable XI:

Miller (GK), Harvey, Segura, Zimmerman, Beitashour, Atuesta, Blessing, Kaye, Rossi, Vela, Diomande

Atlanta United FC Team News:

• The defending champions have failed to recapture the form of the last season and that’s mostly down to the big injury list they are just not managing to fend off.
• They could be without seven first-team players for the trip to Los Angeles, with four ruled out, and three remaining questionable.
• George Bello (right adductor injury), Hector Villalba (knee injury), Kevin Kratz (quad injury) and Brek Shea (knee injury) have all been ruled out.
• In addition, Florentin Pogba (left thigh injury), Mikey Ambrose (left thigh spasms) and Ezequiel Barco (right knee injury) are doubtful ahead of the game.

Possible ins or outs of this game:

• Frank de Boer has not any options to flirt with the squad and considering his team is on a two-game winning streak, there’s no reason to change the winning combination.
• However, Gonzalo Nicolas Martinez, aka Pity Martinez, is pushing for a start and may replace Brandon Vazquez in the playing 11.

Atlanta United Probable XI:

Guzan (GK), Gonzalez-Pirez, Robinson, Escobar, Nagbe, Remedi, Meram, Hyndman, Gressel, Josef Martinez, Pity Martinez
