The MLS is back in action with another set of matches this week as Atlanta United take on an impressive New York Red Bulls side in an important clash at the Red Bull Arena on Thursday.
New York Red Bulls vs Atlanta United Preview
Atlanta United are currently in 10th place in the MLS Eastern Conference standings and have not been at their best so far this season. The away side suffered a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Toronto FC last week and will need to bounce back in this match.
New York Red Bulls, on the other hand, are in fourth place in the league table at the moment and have stepped up to the plate this year. The Red Bulls slumped to a 2-1 loss against Los Angeles FC in their previous game and have a point to prove this week.

New York Red Bulls vs Atlanta United Prediction
New York Red Bulls have been impressive in the MLS this season but will need to address their recent slump. The Red Bulls have managed only six points in their last five games and will need a consistent run of positive results in the coming weeks.
Atlanta United have endured a difficult campaign so far and will need to make the most of their opponents' indifferent form. New York Red Bulls remain the better team on paper, however, and hold a slight upper hand going into this game. We expect the hosts to emerge victorious here.
