Insights:

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for New York City and Atlanta United.

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.

New York City form and stats

1 victory, 1 draw and 2 defeats. That’s what New York City have to build on here at Red Bull Arena in the Major League Soccer. York are very eager to stop a potential losing streak at Red Bull Arena, having lost their two previous games here.

New York City's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 2-3 versus New England (placed 1st). Maxi Moralez, who plays in attack, was the top performer for the team in that game, scoring a rating of 8.81 (out of 10). Moralez served one assist, hit five key passes and dribled passed the opponent 1 of 1 times. The penalty miss from Valentin Castellanos in the defeat against New England was a source of irritation for some fans, but these things happen.

A strong away win before that one, visiting Los Angeles FC and winning 2-1.

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for New York City, as the Major League Soccer home game vs DC United is only four days away.

With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (9 in 4 games), York's attacking play is working. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the York defense is not exactly impregnable. 6 goals conceded from 4 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Atlanta United form and stats

0 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss. That’s the product of Atlanta United playing as the away team in the Major League Soccer this season. Atlanta have had a generous will to share for some time now, running a streak of three draws in a row.

Atlanta delivered a 2-2 draw playing at home against Philadelphia Union (placed 3rd) in their previous match; a Major League Soccer game. Midfield player Brooks Lennon was the top player of the team with a match rating of 9.0/10. Lennon hit eight key passes, dribled passed the opponent 2 of 2 times and had 33 successful passes (of 39 total). Drawing 2-2 against Philadelphia Union after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 2-0. Their manager I. Heinze needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result.

A 2-2 draw was the result before that, hosting Nashville SC.

A quick return to home after this game, as Atlanta are hosting New York RB in the Major League Soccer only four days away.

The visitors have scored 3 goals from 4 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. 4 goals have been conceded by Atlanta in these games.

Head 2 Head

H2H stats regardless of arena (last eight matches): York two wins, two draws and Atlanta United four victories. As for goals, six matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), two games had two or less.
