Away from home, Red Bulls have had a mixed season. Their first 4 games were very poor, they got 2 draws against Columbus Crew and Sporting KC, (11th in Eastern Conference and 12th in Western Conference respectively) and lost to Chicago Fire and New England (9th and 8th in Eastern Conference). They followed this terrible form up with 2 wins on the bounce, a routine victory vs 12th place Cincinnati preceded by a brilliant 3-1 win away at 3rd place (Western Conference) Dallas. In their last 2 games away their form returned to normal, losing 3-2 to Philadelphia Union and 4-0 to Houston Dynamo.
Atlanta have been in good shape lately, winning 3 of their last 5 games. In these 5 games Atlanta have scored 2+ in 4 of them. Atlanta is ranked 4th in the Eastern Conference. In retrospect, Atlanta have won 8 and lost 4 of their last 12 games.
Atlanta have been incredible at home recently, so it’s very hard to see anything but a home win here, but we think the value lies in Atlanta beating Red Bulls by 2 or more goals, as Red Bulls have leaked 7 goals in just their last 2 games. Therefore we’re going for Atlanta -1 Handicap. Atlanta have conceded just 1 in their last 7 at home, so I think they will win to nil, and so home win.
Hello! Here's proof why RB will lose: New York Red Bulls have been in poor shape for the past couple of weeks, with the Houston Dynamo defeating them 4-0 in their last game. In the previous game they won 3-1 at home against the Chicago Fire, but before that they were knocked out by New England 3-2; and lost the previous 3-2 away game to Philadelphia Union.
At home, Atlanta United have shown phenomenal form over the past couple of months, winning 6 home matches but conceded just one goal. Prior to that, they fought in their first 3 home games, scoring just 2 points in 3 games against Cincinnati, Philadelphia Union and Dallas, but they quickly got back on their feet after that.
I am confident that Atlanta will extend the winning streak at home.
