New York City will be eager to return to winning ways in the Eastern Conference on Thursday night when they welcome Conference strugglers Atlanta United to Tankee Stadium following a loss and a draw.
A disappointing and heavy 3-0 loss on home turf to Houston Dynamo was followed by a 2-2 draw away from home at Nashville but the hosts will now return to the home surroundings of the Yankee Stadium where Pascal Jansen’s side will be keen to rekindle the sort of form which brought them back-to-back wins in recent weeks.
Indeed, recent victories against city rivals New York RB 2-0 and a 3-1 win against Chicago Fire, both of which were in their own backyard, should still give New York City plenty of belief and confidence that they can collect all three points here, especially as the hosts possess a home record of 6-0-3 12/9 to date.
Atlanta United currently sit third from bottom in the Eastern Conference standings and a significant eight points adrift of their upcoming hosts, New York City, ahead of this upcoming encounter at Yankee Stadium.
Atalanta were dealt a 2-0 loss on the road in their previous visit to the Big Apple as Ronny Deila’s side suffered defeat at the hands of New York RB and although the visitors have previously picked up back-to-back wins against FC Cincinnati and Orlando City respectively, both of these victories were gained on home turf at their Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
However, the visitors have managed to capture just four wins in their last 17 games overall in the MLS, all of which were at home, while they are still waiting to pick up their first away win of this season’s campaign amidst a poor away record which stands at 0-2-5 4/15.
The Betting Verdict
New York City are unbeaten in their last six meetings at home against Atlanta United.
The Pick :
New York City 1-0 Atlanta Utd
