MLS Preview: Atlanta United FC (5-6-4) at New York Red Bulls (7-5-5)

The Red Bulls have never lost a regular season game against Atlanta United (W6 D4, lost one of two playoff games in 2018) and have kept a clean sheet in each of the last four meetings (W2 D2). New York has kept clean sheets in seven of the ten all-time regular season games between the sides.

The Red Bulls have lost three of their last five MLS matches (W2) after losing just two of their first 12 league games this season (W5 D5). New York hasn’t lost consecutive matches since last August, when they lost at Chicago and Montreal.

Atlanta United’s road woes continued on Saturday with a 2-1 loss to Toronto FC on Saturday. The Five Stripes have just one point from their last five MLS away matches and have recorded just five wins in their last 29 road games dating back to October 2020 (including playoffs).

The Red Bulls have scored nine goals in their last three home matches, netting multiple goals in all three matches. They scored just nine times in their previous 13 matches at Red Bull Arena dating back to August, failing to score more than once in any of those games.

Luiz Araújo has been involved in Atlanta United’s last three goals (2 goals, 1 assist), including scoring the lone goal in the loss on Saturday. With four goals and two assists, Araújo is one of four Atlanta United players with at least six goal contributions this season, with Marcelino Moreno (7), Josef Martínez (6) and Thiago Almada (6).
