Atlanta United will be looking to win the game on Sunday

Atlanta United host Toronto at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in the MLS on Sunday, with both sides having contrasting seasons so far.

Atlanta United are currently sixth in the Eastern Conference table. Gonzalo Pineda's side will be going into the game off the back of a 3-2 win against Inter Miami last time out. They will be looking to continue their momentum with a victory against Toronto this weekend.

Toronto, on the other hand, have faltered of late. Javier Perez's side are currently 13th in the Eastern Conference table and have failed to win any of their last four league games. They will hope to bounce back with a win against Atlanta on Sunday.

Both sides will be looking to win the game for different reasons, and that should make the fixture a feisty contest.


Atlanta United vs Toronto Head-to-Head

Toronto have slightly edged the recent head-to-head record between the two sides, winning three of their last five meetings, with Atlanta United winning the other two.

Atlanta United beat Toronto 2-0 in the reverse fixture earlier this month. Goals from Luiz Araujo and Marcelino Moreno were enough to secure all three points on the night.
