Atlanta United Fc vs New York Red Bulls Prediction & Picks - Major League Soccer

Prediction published on 10/3/24, 7:30 PM  by Carlos Zabala in Major League Soccer Picks

NY Red Bulls will probably be in the playoffs of the new MLS, but that does not mean that they are still one of the teams with the worst present in the competition since before winning 4-1 against Toronto FC, perhaps the team that lost the most in the last two months, NY Red Bulls had a streak of 8 games without winning in all competitions. However, the good start allowed the New York team to be 3 points away from the 50-point barrier at this point, which if they achieve it would only be the second time in history that they would do so.

Against Atlanta Utd it will be their penultimate game of the MLS regular season since they will close at home against Columbus Crew on October 19. Atlanta seems like an opponent against whom they are likely to be able to rescue at least one point because in fact NY Red Bulls always added points against Atlanta Utd in 11 of the last 12 clashes, the exception being the last visit to Mercedes-Benz Stadium in 2023, in a game that ended 1-0.

With two games remaining, Atlanta United still has a minimal chance of aspiring to the play-in, as they are 3 points behind Toronto FC, which holds the last spot with 37 points.
