Prediction published on 07/04/2023, 12:50  by Devesh Jaganath in Major League Soccer Predictions

Atlanta United will be looking to continue their strong start to the season this weekend when they head to Yankee Stadium to take on New York City in MLS action on Sunday. The visitors came away with a well-deserved 1-0 win in their last match against RB New York, bouncing back well from a humbling 6-1 loss against Columbus Crew a week earlier. Atlanta is now up to second place in the Eastern Conference with 13 points after six matches, just one point behind Cincinnati at the top of the table and level with New England in third, though they do have a slightly better goal difference. Over their first six matches this season, Atlanta has won four, drawn one, and lost just one, scoring 13 goals and conceding nine in that time. Atlanta has struggled against this opponent in recent times but will see this as the perfect time to take them on, with the hosts still struggling to find their best form this season. 

Meanwhile, New York City is yet to show the type of form that saw them end in the top three last season. The hosts are currently sixth in the Eastern Conference with eight points after their first six matches, six points behind the leaders and level with Orlando City in seventh. New York City came away with a hard-earned point in their last match against New England, which was their second draw in their last six matches, along with two wins and two losses. The visitors have been the dominant side in this encounter in recent times and come into this one unbeaten in their last six meetings against this opponent, winning four and drawing two. The last time these sides met, NYCFC recorded a 2-1 win and will be hoping that they can repeat that result here as they search to get back to winning ways.
