Premium Tips
Two Premium Tips for New York City vs Atlanta United, with Anthony Eadson taking on the out-of-form hosts.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Atlanta United draw no bet | 12/5 (bet365) | New York City are odds-on favourites, but their recent record does not justify it. They have won only four of their 15 home games and none of their last six at home since a 3-1 win over Chicago Fire in July. Their last four results overall read two defeats and two draws. Atlanta have been far better on the road lately, unbeaten in their last five away games with wins at Minnesota United, Portland Timbers and Montreal. Draw no bet returns your stake if it finishes level, which makes 12/5 a fair price. |
| The draw | 16/5 (Sky Bet) | Draws have been the default setting in this fixture. Three of the last five meetings have finished level, including a 2-2 in Atlanta last month, and five of the last seven have ended all square. New York City have drawn 11 of their 31 games, including each of their last two, and five of those draws have come at home. Atlanta have drawn two of their last five on the road as well, so 16/5 about another shared result looks generous. |
