Games of the Matchday

Atlanta United vs. LAFC

Atlanta United and head coach Gonzalo Pineda are desperate for a league win, not doing so in nearly two months (eight-game winless streak). Compounding that, star attackers Giorgos Giakoumakis (hamstring) and Thiago Almada (calf) are battling injuries.

With Atlanta dropping to 12th in the Eastern Conference, a turnaround at longtime fortress Mercedes-Benz Stadium won't be easy against red-hot LAFC and Denis Bouanga. The 2023 Golden Boot presented by Audi winner now has 8g/5a, hitting his stride before legendary French striker Olivier Giroud arrives this summer.

Ups and downs aside, these are two of MLS' flashiest expansion teams of the past decade. Atlanta were MLS Cup 2018 winners and LAFC lifted MLS Cup 2022.

Orlando City SC vs. Columbus Crew

The Columbus Crew have an eye on their Concacaf Champions Cup final against Liga MX side Pachuca, held June 1 at Estadio Hidalgo. But they're still taking care of business in MLS play, earning back-to-back 3-1 victories at CF Montréal and Chicago Fire FC.

Head coach Wilfried Nancy could rest players before heading to Mexico. Case and point: Star striker Cucho Hernández (back) will reportedly miss out as a precaution.

After a slow start, Orlando have ground out results and are unbeaten in their last three games (2W-0L-1D). With striker Duncan McGuire (shoulder) likely out injured, look for Luis Muriel to carry the attacking line.

Vancouver Whitecaps FC vs. Inter Miami CF

Inter Miami bring a nine-game unbeaten streak to Vancouver, hoping to outpace FC Cincinnati atop the Eastern Conference table.

The focus will shift to other members of Miami's talent-rich roster as Lionel Messi, Luis Suárez and Sergio Busquets won't travel. Matías Rojas and Leo Campana, in particular, are capable of magic moments themselves.

After a strong start to the season, Vancouver are winless in their last five games. They'll need game-changing contributions from stars Ryan Gauld, Brian White and Andrés Cubas to shock Inter Miami.
