Atlanta United vs New York Red Bulls Prediction & Betting tips
These days Major League Soccer is being blown away. Just a few days after the last game, Atlanta United and the New York Red Bulls are back on Sunday night. Both the incumbent champion from the state of Georgia and the US representative of the Red Bull Empire are in direct duel compensation on the “to-do list”. While Atlanta was surprisingly beating Bastian Schweinsteiger’s Chicago Fire 1-5, the “Red Bulls” in the away game at Houston Dynamo also had no chance. Who has better digested the embarrassing swatter and can score important points in the battle for the playoffs?
In the Atlanta United vs. New York Red Bulls encounter, the hosts are considered favorites according to odds. For large-scale surprise, however, this assessment does not provide, because after all, the title holder from the preseason with six wins from nine home games to the strongest team in front of home backdrop in the Eastern Conference. The New Yorkers, meanwhile, scored only eight points in eight away games and are therefore a welcome guest in the stadiums of the MLS. Consequently, between Atlanta United and the New York Red Bulls, we predict that the team around the German Julian Gressel will be a booming success, successfully rehabilitating the shame during the week.
Atlanta United:
Without sounding too scientific, but if we had to project Murphy’s Law on a soccer game, the encounter between the Chicago Fire and Atlanta United would be a parade last Thursday Example. After 13 minutes, the game was decided in favor of Bastian Schweinsteiger and his colleagues.
At that time it was 3-0 for the franchise from the “Windy City” and also acted the reigning champions from Atlanta after a red card in the outnumbered. Chicago relented before the break even to 5: 0 and sent a shocked United with a disastrous result from her perspective in the cabin. In the second round, the men from Georgia operated at least some cosmetics and reduced by penalties to 1-5 final score, which did not change the fact that the team of Dutch coach Frank de Boer must process the highest season defeat as quickly as possible on Sunday evening native scenery to return to the Siegesspur.
So far, however, the yield of the former Ajax Amsterdam, Inter Milan and Crystal Palace football teacher can still be seen absolutely. In 24 competitive games under the guidance of the former professional Atlanta celebrated at least 13 wins and took on average almost two points. The way to defend the title in Major League Soccer is indeed a further and still indicates much at the moment that at least the successful qualification for the playoffs should succeed. Fifth in the Eastern Conference, the Reds are currently six points clear of eighth.
Hope for a good result against the “Red Bulls” makes on the one hand, the strong home record and on the other hand, the bottom line, good condition. Atlanta won five of the last seven competitive games. Here, Julian Gressel and Co. always get at least two own goals. Only three times remained the De Boer Elf in the past eleven league games without a goal in the first half. Combined with the fact that six out of nine matches have been victorious at home (two draws, one bankruptcy), we argue that Atlanta United and the New York Red Bulls should tip on the lucrative odds for the HT 1 / To submit FT 1. For the best team in the first half and the second best home team of the Eastern Conference, we even risk a confident use of six units.
Personnel it looks likely to be better than during the week. There are still questions behind the stakes of Ezequiel Barco and Tito Villalba, but at least the top-scorer of the preseason, Josef Martinez, who leads the internal list with ten goals in the current season after his return from the Copa America for the first time again from the beginning accrues. We expect a lot from the 26-year-old attacker on Sunday evening. Kevin Kratz and George Bello are out of action for the longer term.
New York Red Bulls:
Tired, powerless, drained, listless – that was the idea of the New York Red Bulls during the week at Houston Dynamo. That at the end of a 0: 4 swatter appeared on the scoreboard, was the logical consequence of an underground performance, which also causes a few days later for great concerns with the coaching staff of the New Yorker. After three wins from four games, the heavy bankruptcy was also a huge step backward. In terms of playoffs, the “Red Bulls” therefore continue to fear for their ticket for the post-season.
With 27 points, RB New York ranks sixth in the Eastern Conference. The gap to the next opponent is two meters; the lead on position eight after all their four. Nonetheless, especially the balance sheet in foreign countries provides arguments to venture at Atlanta United against New York Red Bulls no forecast on the guest. Of the previous eight matches in the distance, the protégés of coach Chris Armas made only the two victorious. There were also two division of points and four defeats. Only ten goals scored in this period are also no real encouragement. With a similarly disastrous performance as during the week against Houston, we have no doubt that the shower manufacturer’s franchise will face the next setback in reigning US champions.
Personnel is aggravating added that with Gamarra and Murillo two key players have to watch blocked. Gamarra saw the red card in the closing stages against Dynamo; Murillo had to leave the field with yellow-red before. In the absence of national team players Derrick Etienne, Kemar Lawrence and Aaron Long, defensive work is likely to lead to quantitative and qualitative bottlenecks. The Atlanta Vs. New York quotas are therefore quite justified.
