Atlanta United vs Charlotte FC Free Live Stream: How to Watch MLS Match Without Cable

Atlanta United looks to prove this weekend that their victory at Inter Miami was no fluke.

Thiago Almada and Atlanta host Charlotte FC on national television this Sunday, June 2 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. It’s the latest version of a game that a decade ago seemed impossible — DC United was the closest team to Atlanta and Charlotte at the time — but now draws dozens of thousands of fans in the stadium.

Atlanta Designated Player Saba Lobzhanidze finally delivered on Wednesday with two goals in South Florida. It was his first time on the scoresheet in five games.

Charlotte, meanwhile, lost heavily to the New York Red Bulls, after a prolonged halftime weather delay. The Red Bulls showed the required intensity and won 3-1, with all three goals coming in the second half.

With so much on the line between these two teams, fans won’t want to miss this action.

The Sporting News takes a look at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch it across the world, kickoff times and the latest lineup news.

Atlanta United vs. Charlotte Lineups, Team News

Bartosz Slisz And Tyler Wolff are both listed for Atlanta, but otherwise head coach Gonzalo Pineda has a full team to choose from. This could also be one of the last times fans see Giorgos Giakoumakis in an Atlanta United uniform. He reportedly attracted interest from Liga MX club Cruz Azul ahead of an eight-figure transfer fee. Of course, Giakoumakis leads Atlanta United with five goals scored this season.

Also, Brad Guzan is available for selection, but we’ll have to see if Pineda sticks to Josh Cohen.

Atlanta United’s projected starting lineup (4-3-3): Cohen (GK) — Lennon, Gregerson, Abram, Wiley — Mayumba, McCarty, Almada — Lobzhanidze, Thiare, Rios.

Atlanta United substitutions (9): (Lineups are published one hour before kick-off)

Charlotte enters this weekend with one of the best defensive records in all of MLS, even after allowing three goals in midweek. Croatian goalkeeper Kristijan Kahlina has been a revelation this season with a league-leading seven clean sheets. It will be difficult for Atlanta United to overtake him.

Charlotte will be without a key pillar, as Ashley Westwood purges a suspension of yellow card accumulation.

Charlotte FC’s projected starting lineup (4-3-3): Kahlina (GK) — Lindsey, Malanda, Privett, Pedro — Bender, Arfield, Diani — Abada, Agyemang, Vargas.

Atlanta United vs. Charlotte Prediction

Charlotte’s defensive record will make it difficult for Atlanta United, even though they are coming off a big win at Inter Miami. It’s easy to see this one ending in a stalemate, as Atlanta United struggles to break down Charlotte and Charlotte doesn’t get enough chances due to their defensive posture on the road.

Prediction: Atlanta United 1-1 Charlotte FC
