Doug Roberson (@DougRobersonAJC) of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution predicts Atlanta United’s starting 11 for Tuesday’s game against Motagua in the second leg of their Champions League series.
The game will start at 8 p.m. It will be streamed on FS1.
If Atlanta United shuts out Motagua, it will advance to the next round to face the winner of the series between Club America and Comunicaciones.
I think manager Frank de Boer may change the formation from the 4-3-3 he used in the first game to a 3-4-2-1 or 3-5-2 for this game to try to better stifle the crosses that Motagua likes to hit.
