Betting Tips

Ahead of this game, both sides find themselves in disappointing league positions, with both sitting nearer the bottom of the table.

New York City could still get into the Championship playoffs, giving them something else to play for over Atlanta.

New York also have the home advantage, and have slightly better form over Atlanta who have struggled to keep clean sheets.

A win for New York City looks a safe bet.

Final Prediction

As said, both sides find themselves nearer the bottom of the table. Atlanta have struggled to keep clean sheets, and New York are higher in the table.

I think New York have enough to get a win, and I predict a 2-1 win for the home side.
