A battle between two of the top three seeds in the East will take place on Sunday afternoon. These teams have met a total of six times. Atlanta leads the series with three wins, one loss and two draws. New York has never won when playing in Atlanta.
New York City FC
NYCFC won a shootout with Houston on Thursday by a score of 3-2. This puts them in third with 38 points. NYCFC have been a decent away team this season, winning four, losing three and drawing four. A win would keep them in the race for the top seed, but a loss could see them get jumped in the standings.
New York’s attack was required to do the most in their game with the Dynamo. Houston even had a red card, and still they had to score three times to get the win. This game however, will be played in Atlanta. NYCFC has scored four times in three visits to Atlanta. This is promising, but they have never been able to get the result they want. They do score 1.64 goals per game away from home, but they will need to exceed this if they are going to win the game.

The NYCFC defense has been very shaky as of late. They have allowed five goals alone in their last two matches. They allow an average of 1.64 goals per game on the road, so if they allow two or more goals again, they will walk away from this game with nothing.
Atlanta United FC
Atlanta United played a US Open Semifinal at Orlando this past Tuesday. They won the game 2-0, and did not even need Josef Martinez to get the result. They sit in second place in the East on 39 points and could move to first if they win and Philadelphia loses.

The attack has started to really pick things up as of late. They have scored ten goals in their last three home games combined. With Martinez likely to be put back into the lineup, they should easily score at least two.
The Atlanta defense is also playing really well at the moment. They have shutouts in three of their last four games overall. All three of these shutouts have come at home. I am not sure if they will be able to shutout this New York side, but allowing one goal at most seems likely.
