Atlanta United take on New York Red Bulls this week

The MLS returns to the fold with another set of matches this week as New York Red Bulls take on Atlanta United on Wednesday. Both teams have been inconsistent this season and have a point to prove this week.

Atlanta United are in sixth place in the MLS Eastern Conference standings and have improved in recent weeks. The away side played out a 1-1 draw against Toronto FC last week and will want to step up in this match.

New York Red Bulls, on the other hand, are in seventh place in the league table at the moment and have not been at their best this month. The Red Bulls edged CF Montreal to a 1-0 victory in their previous game and will need a similar result on Wednesday.
