New York City Football Club vs Atlanta United

Atlanta United will do battle on Sunday as they prepare for the looming MLS Cup Playoffs fixture versus New York City FC.

New York City Football Club

New York City Football Club are in fourth place in the league table at the moment and have also been excellent this year. However, New York City have won only two of the last six regular season games on the home pitch. They held second-placed Philadelphia Union and shared a 1-1 draw with them in their previous game. New York City FC’s defence is solid as they have only conceded 4 goals during the past 6 games.

 

 

 

 

Atlanta United 

While Atlanta United spent vast amount of money to create a strong squad all over the place, it did not bring them the immediate regular-season glory. Atlanta United are in fifth place in the MLS Eastern Conference standings and have punched above their weight this season. They edged FC Cincinnati to a 2-1 victory earlier this month. Atlanta United will go into this unbeaten in the last six MLS affairs.

 

 

Prediction

Atlanta United have stepped up towards the latter stages of their campaign and will also be confident on Sunday. However, New York City hold a slight upper hand at the moment and should be able to win this game.
