Atlanta United will be looking to build on a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Portland Timbers when they welcome New York City, with the hosts still fighting to keep their playoff hopes alive. Atlanta have been inconsistent at home, winning two of their last four games while conceding 1.75 goals per match, but their attacking numbers remain encouraging. Tomas Jacob picked up a knock in the last league outing, with Matthew Edwards likely to step up.
The Blue Pigeons, meanwhile, aim to bounce back from a narrow 1-0 defeat to local rivals New York Red Bulls. Despite the loss, New York City were unlucky not to find the net after registering an impressive 2.57 xG in the derby. A victory in Atlanta could move them into a playoff berth, although Talles Magno, Parks, Farnos, and Moralez are all sidelined through injury.
With both sides seeing BTTS in at least 75% of their recent home/away games, Both Teams to Score should be considered. Atlanta United to Win is yet another interesting betting option with the hosts coming off a confidence-boosting victory and New York City struggling for consistency.
This MLS match will be played on Sunday 27 September 2026 at 00:30.
