Going by recent form FOX’s feature MLS match should be two comparable sides. Hosts Atlanta United are 3-1-2 in their last six, while the Seattle Sounders are 2-2-2. If one is to think that the Sounders are threw their rough start their 4 points in their last two matches are another positive sign.
But there are reasons why FOX is showing this match immediately after the World Cup Final between France and Croatia. Many of these reasons have to do with the potent Atlanta offense (Josef Martinez is the league leader in goals scored with 18); their massive crowds that upstaged the crowds in Seattle; and America’s most famous soccer player, who didn’t travel.
