Montreal Impact vs. Atlanta United: Preview and How to Watch by Chris Ashley

Only two matches highlight this weekend’s action in the North American Soccer League.

NASL League leaders, Jacksonville Armada, will look to expand on their early advantage in the table as they return home. Elsewhere, North Carolina FC hosts FC Edmonton in a bottom of the table clash. Here’s a brief preview of the weekend ahead.

Jacksonville Armada vs. San Francisco Deltas

It’s an early battle between the first and second place clubs in the table. The Armada are in first after two narrow 1-0 victories in their opening matches of the season. Last weekend, the Deltas recorded their first win in club history, as they were led by Tom Heinemann’s brace, this will be their first away match of the season.

Both of these clubs are two of four teams still undefeated. The Armada have yet to concede a goal and the Deltas have a strong defense as well. Expect this to be a well-fought, but low scoring match.

North Carolina FC vs. FC Edmonton

It hasn’t been the best start to the season for these two clubs. Edmonton dropped their opening two fixtures against the Armada and failed to record a goal in both matches. They did look better offensively in last weekend’s match and were unlucky not to find an equaliser.

North Carolina fell apart in the second half last weekend after a decent display in the first half. They’ve scored in both of their opening fixtures, but were exposed against the Deltas as they let multiple runs get in behind the defense. Matthew Fondy and Ty Shipalane have scored the club’s two goals. In their first home match they drew 1-1 with Miami FC.
