Atlanta United will be aiming to build on last weekend's shock 0-1 win at Portland Timbers, when they host New York City in a vital MLS Eastern Conference clash on Saturday evening. 

Despite that impressive victory over Portland, United are still second bottom of the conference and need to bridge a seven point gap if they are to qualify for the postseason. That looks a very tall order, but United are playing arguably their best football of the seaosn and have dropped just two of their last eight MLS games. 

New York are currently just one point outside of the playoff positions. However, a run of just one win from their last nine games is threatening to derail a previously promising campaign. Getting back to winning ways on Saturday would give their postseason hopes a huge boost as we move into the pivotal weeks of the regular season.

Our Atlanta United Fc vs New York City Prediction

Goals have been hard to come by for both New York and Atlanta in recent weeks, so we are not expecting a huge amount of entertainment at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Saturday night. 

New York are far stronger defensively than they are on offense, so unsurprisingly the majority of their recent fixtures have featured very little goalmouth action.

Atlanta are slightly weaker on defense than their opponents, but they should still have enough quality to blunt New York's limp attack. 

Our prediction for Atlanta United vs New York City is: Under 2.5 goals. 

Prediction:

 

Under 2.5 goals
