Insights:
  • New York City have the most clean sheets (8) in Major League Soccer
  • New York City have scored at least twice as many goals at home as Atlanta United have scored away.

5 - 6 - 12 with 24-32. What does this mean? Well, these are the statistics for Atlanta United when playing on grass like they will do today. Wins - draws- losses and goals scored-conceded. Atlanta United play their home games on artifical turf so that's why we provide these numbers.

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

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

New York City form and stats

New York City have performed here at Yankee 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.

An away draw last time out for New York City, facing Cincinnati in a game that ended 4-4. Trouble was brewing at the score 0-3 against Cincinnati last time out, but a goal from Pereira completed a comeback to a draw result for York. A painful moment in the game against Cincinnati was the missed penalty kick from Moralez in the 34th minute. A goal there would obviously have changed the match and probably the outcome. Midfield player Moralez got a match rating of 8.64 in that game, the max score being 10. Moralez hit five key passes and had 59 successful passes (of 67 total).

Prior to that, an away loss at Philadelphia Union.

With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (22 in 9 games), New York City's attacking play is working. New York City have only conceded 8 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Araújo, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 7.65. Araújo dribled past the opponent 6 of 9 times.

A 1-2 defeat away at Toronto before that.

Goal-happy betting people should observe that 8 of this side's 10 latest league matches have ended with three goals or more.
