Prediction: 2-2
Atlanta United
All eyes will be on Red Bull Arena when New York Red Bulls and Atlanta United face each other in the MLS derby this weekend. The Red Bulls proved their worth in a 2-0 win over Toronto, with the team scoring two goals in the second half of the match. Bradley Wright-Phillips failed to find the net against the title holders, but we predict that the team’s top scorer is going to prove a handful for the opposition defenders in Sunday’s football match. Atlanta United, on the other hand, are on a three-game winning run in the Major League Soccer and they are on the right track to secure a top-two finish. Both sides are likely to stick to their attacking styles of play in Sunday’s derby, therefore, we believe that that they are going to play out a high-scoring draw at Red Bull Arena.
