Mercedes-Benz Stadium will host an eagerly-awaited MLS clash as Atlanta United try to halt their worrying slide against a New York Red Bulls side chasing valuable points in the playoff race. Atlanta come into the game after a 3-2 defeat to Philadelphia Union and have managed just two wins in their last 10 matches. Their defensive struggles have been especially costly, with the Five Stripes conceding 2.0 goals per game during that spell. BTTS landed in 70% of their last 10, rising to an impressive 100% across their recent home sample. Defender Enea Mihaj will miss out through suspension, adding another headache at the back.
The Red Bulls have been inconsistent themselves, but their 3-2 victory over Orlando City provides a timely boost. They have won 40% of their last 10 and are unbeaten in three of their last four away matches, while scoring 1.5 goals per game on the road. Their defensive record remains concerning, though, as they have kept no clean sheets in their last 10. Both Lomdono and Mosquera are doubts for the visitors. Historically, New York have enjoyed the upper hand, winning 11 of the 20 previous meetings, compared with only three Atlanta victories.
As the Metros have the stronger recent record and won 11 of the last 20 H2H meetings, we are tempted to bet on away Win, alongside New York Over 1.5 and Over 2.5 goals total (Atlanta's games average 3.3 goals, while the same figure applies to New York).
This MLS match will be played on Sunday 16 August 2026 at 00:30.
