Where Can I Watch?
Why Bet on Atlanta United?
Atlanta won its last game against DC United (3-1), and drew 4 others, adding 7 points in the last 5 matches. If this is not an excellent record, it is not a worrying situation either, since the team has been without a loss for a few rounds.
With 28 points conquered in 18 games, the locals will be able to reach 4th place if they win their game and their competitors do not score in this round. Despite the tight results, the good news for their fans is that this team scored 6 goals in the last two games when they played in front of them.
The young Argentinian Thiago Almada remains Atlanta’s main player and one of the best in the MLS. He has one of the best numbers of dribbling and key passes, in addition to contributing goals and assists.
Betting on Atlanta is justified by the number of goals scored at home, in addition to the opponent’s difficulty in winning their games and keeping the goal inviolable.
Why Bet on New York City?
NYC FC has been without a win for a few rounds and their players seem to have low motivation. Despite the good players it has, such as Talles Magno and Gabriel Pereira, it has struggled to win its games. In addition, they have found it difficult to replace Valentin Castellanos, since he departed to their sister club Girona in December.
NYC’s last win was in April when they beat Dallas 3-1 in New York. Since then, the team has accumulated draws and defeats, at home and abroad, which left the team in this situation. Lucky for them, there have been more draws than losses lately, and that little points’ income has taken them out of the bottom of the table. However, if they want to go to the postseason, they must win.
Despite the difficulties, City conceded only 3 goals in the last three games, showing a slightly more solid and organized defense – something that will be extremely necessary to face the good Atlanta team.
New York City’s hopes lie in the form of forwards Gabriel Pereira and Santiago Rodríguez, who, together, scored 8 goals this season. Betting on New York City means believing in the recovery of these good players and the resumption of a team that constantly seeks to renew confidence on the pitch.
Final Betting Analysis: Atlanta vs. NYC FC
Atlanta has a more cohesive team that has proven to be more competitive. Thiago Almada’s talent, added to the good performances that the team has been showing in their stadium, are the main arguments in favor of them.
While it may make the match difficult, New York City’s recent phase does not inspire confidence. Atlanta United has not beaten their opponents for more than five games (their last victory against NYC was in 2019). However, with this scenario of superiority, there is no doubt: the hosts have what it takes to win the game.
If you put $100 into Atlanta’s win, you could get $87 back for a total payout of $187.
