Game Preview
Atlanta United and New York City FC are in the top three places on the list of the most valuable teams in the MLS. Still, neither team can be too proud of their performances in the 2023 season. Sure, there’s a lot of time left before the end of the regular portion of the season.
Atlanta is sixth in the Eastern Conference with a 7-7-4 record, which accounts for 28 points. This team’s score differential is 35-29, which shows that “The Five Stripes” are great in the attack (scoring 1.94 goals per game), but their defense is bad (allowing 1.61 goals on average).

When it comes to NYCFC, the winner of the MLS Cup from two years ago, is currently sitting in 11th place in the East, with a 4-7-7 record (19 points) and a score difference of 18-23. This team’s biggest problem is poor offense, and this problem just won’t go away – “The Bronx Blues” scored just three goals in their last five MLS games.
Atlanta United vs. NYCFC Prediction
Atlanta United is favored to beat NYFC on June 21, and there are several reasons for that. Not only are “The Five Stripes” playing on their turf, but they’re also in much better form than the visitors from New York. They’re coming off a big 3-1 win over Wayne Rooney’s DC United, while NYCFC drew 1-1 with Columbus Crew in their most recent outing.
