Atlanta United saw a 1-2 scoreline vs New England last game, a match to learn from. Next up is this fierce New York City side.

Insights:
  • Atlanta United have the most matches over the total-line (20) in Major League Soccer

0 - 5 - 3 with 10-16. What does this mean? Well, these are the statistics for New York City when playing on artifical turf like they will do today. Wins - draws- losses and goals scored-conceded. New York City play their home games on grass so that's why we provide these numbers.

New York City have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1400 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
