Atlanta United vs Orlando City Predicted Lineups

• Competition: Major League Soccer
• Date: Wednesday, May 28, 2025
• Kick-off Time: 11:30 pm GMT
• Venue: Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Atlanta, Georgia

Matchday 15 of the 2025 Major League Soccer season will include Atlanta United welcoming Orlando City at the iconic Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Wednesday evening. Both sides, part of the Eastern Conference, are on opposite ends of the points table. Atlanta has endured tough times recently and is in 14th place, just one above the bottom, with just 11 points so far. Orlando, on the other hand, is one of the most in-form teams in the division, sitting in fifth place, five points off the summit. The Atlanta United vs Orlando City fixture will be a good spectacle of American football for the fans.

Atlanta United's recent form has been abysmal. The points table reflects a fair position of the club's fortunes this year. The Georgian outfit has managed two draws and four defeats in the last six matches. During this period, Atlanta has scored just three goals and conceded 11. Despite possessing one of the most talented squads in the MLS, the club hasn't been able to get off the mark in the league so far. Atlanta United has scored 1 goal per game and conceded 1.7 goals per match in the MLS.

Orlando City will be content with how the latest matches have played out. The Florida side has accumulated three victories, two draws, and just a solitary defeat in the last six outings. Orlando has been on a roll offensively, with 16 goals in the last five matches, which has attracted plaudits even from European football. Martin Ojeda has been the go-to man for Orlando City this campaign, with the most goals (eight) and the most assists (three). Orlando will be determined to surpass last season's Supporters' Shield finish, where the club ended in the ninth position.

Key Players to Watch in Atlanta United vs Orlando City

Miguel Almiron (Atlanta United)

Miguel Almiron has been a wonderful acquisition for Atlanta United and Major League Soccer from Newcastle United at the start of the season. The Paraguayan international will bring tons of experience to the club, which will be necessary to handle the turbulence faced by Atlanta United this season. Almiron has three goals and an assist this term, and he will be keen to add to those figures in the coming weeks, starting with Orlando City.

Luis Muriel (Orlando City)

Luis Muriel was always known to be an effective option up front when he used to play for Atalanta in the Serie A. There was no doubt that the Colombian benefited due to the club's high line, but his statistics were out of this world during his time in Italy. As age caught up with the striker, Muriel decided to shift his allegiance to the USA, playing for Orlando City. He has been a big reason for the club's recent attacking form. He has six goals and two assists this year already.
