Atlanta United is in a very bad spot at the moment, and the game against the New York City FC is coming at the worst possible moment. The guests aren’t in some particularly great form, but they still look much better than the Five Stripes, who must wake up and overcome adversity.

Before Betting on Atlanta United vs. New York City FC

A 1-0 loss in Montreal was the fourth straight for the franchise from Georgia, now sitting 11th in the East, still with solid chances to reach the postseason. In 23 games, Atlanta collected 24 points, but the current trend is very worrying.

In those four losses, the defense allowed 10 goals, while on the other side, the attacks scored four times. Atlanta’s games have been rather interesting, with eight of the recent ten ending with goals on both ends of the field and seven with three or more hits.

As for the guests from the Big Apple, we can say that they slowed down over the last few weeks, winning only two of seven events throughout that span. Previously, the Citizens have been at the top of the conference, but this negative skid caused them to lose pace and slip to position No.5 in the East.

FC failed to triumph over the previous two events, which were both on the road, one in Austin, where they lost 2-1 and in Chicago, 0-0. Poor performances away from home have been haunting New York lately, as they suffered three losses and had one tie in the previous four outings. FC netted just once during this stretch.
