New York Red Bulls vs Atlanta United Prediction
New York Red Bulls have been impressive in the MLS this season but will need to address their recent slump. The Red Bulls have managed only six points in their last five games and will need a consistent run of positive results in the coming weeks.
Atlanta United have endured a difficult campaign so far and will need to make the most of their opponents' indifferent form. New York Red Bulls remain the better team on paper, however, and hold a slight upper hand going into this game. We expect the hosts to emerge victorious here.
