Atlanta United 2 vs New York Red Bulls IIPrediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

Two sides sitting side by side in the table: New York Red Bulls II are fifth on 35 points, Atlanta United 2 seventh on 34. The attacking numbers are almost identical, 43 goals for the visitors and 44 for the hosts, and the defences look alike too, 37 and 34 conceded. Matches involving either side average more than 3.6 goals, above the MLS Next Pro figure of 3.24. The verdict: the bar sits at two goals. Both comfortably clear that number across the season and at home Atlanta have scored 27 in ten games. We are looking at 91%. My take: an even contest played openly, as most are in this competition.
