Atlanta United have played 4 Major League Soccer games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 2-2-0 (wins-draws-losses). Atlanta have played two draws in a row on their own stadium.

The fans are hoping that Atlanta will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the Major League Soccer game against New York City (placed 4th). Brad Guzan, who guards the goal, was given a match rating of 7.43 out of 10 in that game. Guzan stopped the opponent with six saves. Atlanta United's goalkeeper Brad Guzan was extremely busy against New York City, saving the team from a uglier defeat with a stunning six saves.

Preceding that game was the home draw versus Philadelphia Union that ended 2-2.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Atlanta United have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found six games) they have won three times, drawn one and lost two.

New York RB form and stats

New York RB have been very modest guests so far, leaving with zero points in all their 4 away matches played so far in the Major League Soccer. Bitter travels for York as they have lost four games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the LA Galaxy match.

New York RB lost away at New England (2-3) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. Andres Reyes, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.34. Reyes scored one goal, hit one key pass and won 5 of 7 duels.

That result followed a home victory 2-0 versus Nashville SC.

New York RB are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is one win, two draws and ten defeats. From a total of 13 matches.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far York have scored 5 goals in 4 league games away. York are struggling defensively in their away games, having conceded 5 goals in these matches.
