The NY Red Bulls vs Atlanta United match will be played on Sunday, 1 June at the iconic Red Bull Arena. The ninth-placed team will host the 12th-placed team in the Major League Soccer.

NY Red Bulls will be quite happy with their performance as they are sitting in a decent position and would love to move up in the table, as they have a decent team with good players who can get the result. At home, they have a good record, and against Atlanta United, they have performed well. Even though the last few games between these two sides have been quite competitive, but still NY Red Bulls have the upper hand. The home team have a very balanced squad and are clear favourites to win the match. Despite Atlanta United not being in a good position in the table, they won't be an easy team to beat.

On the other hand, Atlanta United started their season poorly and are now sitting in the 12th spot. Fans are not happy with their team's performance and expect much better results. In 15 games, which they have played till now, they have won only three, drawn five, and lost seven games. They have dropped points consistently, and now will have to make sure to perform well in the upcoming fixtures to get a good position in the points table. Their record against the NY Red Bulls is not good, but despite all these stats, they are capable of getting a good result away from home. This will be a mouthwatering clash.

Key Players to Watch in NY Red Bull vs Atlanta United

Eric-Maxim Choupo Moting (NY Red Bulls)

He is a player whose quality has gone down badly in the last few seasons, but in the MLS, he can still make a difference. When he left Europe to play in the MLS, he faced some criticism, since he showed a lot of promise but later on failed to live up to the expectations. Despite all these, he has bounced back and is now a key player for Atlanta United.

He is a player who has a really good instinct for attacking third and positions himself very well on the pitch. In 15 games this season, he has scored seven goals, and surely he will be a big threat to the away team.

Miguel Almiron (Atlanta United)

The Paraguayan international is a versatile player who can play on both wings as well as an attacking midfielder. Almiron is a player who likes to have freedom on the pitch, and his style of play is just like a typical South American player.

This is his second stint with the MLS outfit, and once again, he is showing his quality on the pitch. Despite having a short stature, he is someone who can make a difference on the pitch. Almiron is a fast and agile player who can wriggle past defenders and create opportunities for himself and his teammates. This season, he has played 14 games, in which he scored three goals and provided one assist.

NY Red Bulls vs Atlanta United Prediction

Even though both teams are sitting in different positions in the points table, this won't be an easy game for either side. Despite being in good form and playing at home, the NY Red Bulls will not easily win the game against Atlanta. Surely, this will be a very tight and competitive fixture. Both teams' style of play is also good to watch, and surely it will be an exciting fixture, but most probably the home team will narrowly win the game.

Predicted Score: NY Red Bulls 2-1 Atlanta United
