Atlanta United FC vs New York Red Bulls
📖 The Preview
Atlanta have only won two of their last ten, and losing Sergio Santos and S. Alzate to injury, plus Mihaj suspended, leaves them stretched going forward. New York aren't exactly flying either, but they've shown more consistency when it matters lately. The Red Bulls nicking a 2-1 away win feels right here — Atlanta grab one to make it interesting, but New York's extra firepower edges it. Should be a decent game with both sides finding the net, but the visitors take the points.
