This arena has artifical turf, which is not New York City's everyday surface at their own football stadium. When playing on artifical turf New York City have performed like this: Played ten matches with the output 0 wins, 6 draws and 4 defeats with the goal difference 11-18 (scored/conceded).

These teams have little in common geographically as New York City have to travel 1400 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

The visiting New York City played their last game only four days ago, a Major League Soccer match.

Atlanta United form and stats

Atlanta United have performed here at Mercedes-Benz Stadium this season with 6 wins from 9 Major League Soccer matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 2 games and lost 1.

A nice win for Atlanta last time playing, versus DC United. That was also a home game and the match ended 3-1 with Gutman, Wolff and Giakoumakis scoring for the victors. At last, a league win after four matches without. Gutman, defender, was given a rating of 8.14/10 in that game, top of the team. Gutman scored one goal, served one assist, hit one key pass and won 4 of 8 duels.

0-0 away at Los Angeles FC before that.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Atlanta United's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played 9 games, won 4 matches, drawn 4 and lost 1.

If you like betting on "both teams to score": A review of the 12 latest league games shows that 10 of them had at least one goal from each team.

New York City form and stats

There's been little loot from New York City's travels as they have only collected 4 points from 9 away games in the Major League Soccer. New York City only have 0 wins to counter their 5 defeats and 4 draws. With three draws in a row for New York City the feeling in the team is perhaps one of both relief and disappointment.

There were no winners in New York City's previous match, the home game that ended 1-1 vs Columbus Crew (placed 5th). As mentioned above, York drew the match against Columbus Crew. Manager Cushing brought on Segal to rescue the draw from a losing position and it worked. Midfielder Cufré was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.63. Cufré hit three key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

Preceding that game, the 0-0 draw paying a visit to Real Salt Lake.

The schedule is very tough for New York City now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Major League Soccer game at Portland Timbers is waiting in only three days.

The visitors have scored 5 goals from 9 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. As opposed to that, New York City have seen the ball go into their own net 11 times on the road.
