Prediction: 2-2
Atlanta United
A place in the MLS playoffs will be at stake when New York Red Bulls and Atlanta United face each other at Red Bull Arena in a highly-anticipated MLS game. The Metros recorded a very important 1-0 win over Montreal at the weekend, with the team climbing to the playoffs berth, but DC United are breathing down their neck. Both Fernandez and Long are sidelined with injuries, but they should be the only absentees in the home team.
The Five Stripes dropped two points in a 1-1 draw with Toronto, meaning that they are eager to return to winning ways. Considering that both teams will go for a win in Thursday’s showdown, we believe that there is a big value in betting on over 2.5 goals. Hyndman remains in the recovery room, while Sosa is a major doubt, and he will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
