New York Red Bulls vs Atlanta United Prediction & Pick

Atlanta might be higher in the standings, but its road play has left it as the clear underdog this weekend. Gonzalo Pineda's club is just 1-3-5 on the road this season, leaving much to be desired. New York hasn't been the most consistent team, but it's at least 3-2-4 at Red Bull Arena thus far.

On top of that, the Red Bulls only have two losses in their last six home matches, going 3-1-2 over that stretch. Atlanta, meanwhile, hasn't won on the road since the third match of the season, going 0-3-5 in away scenarios since then.

Until Atlanta turns its road luck around, I'd pivot away. Instead, expect the Red Bulls to stand tall.

Final Score Prediction: New York: 2 | Atlanta: 1

New York Red Bulls vs Atlanta United Best Bet

Although the Under is currently favored, I like the Over on the 2.5-goal total as this match's best bet. As it stands, 11 of Atlanta's last 13 games have seen more than 2.5 goals with the same occurring in New York's previous two. Furthermore, Atlanta's road games tend to be high-scoring with an average of 3.4 goals scored per contest.

After three of New York's last four home games saw more than 2.5 goals scored, it's clear that soccer fans should expect a fair amount of offense on Saturday night.

Bet: Over 2.5 Goals (-108)
