Atlanta United<\/a> host New York Red Bulls<\/a> at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Saturday, August 15 (7:30 PM ET \/ 6:30 PM CT \/ 4:30 PM PT).<\/p>\n

Atlanta United and New York Red Bulls both have clean injury news this week, so the lineup picture comes down to form rather than fitness. Aleksey Miranchuk has been Atlanta’s standout performer, with 5 goals and 34 chances created in 1,358 minutes, while Miguel Almir\u00f3n (3 goals from 1,012 minutes) and Emmanuel Latte Lath add extra thrust up front. New York Red Bulls will lean on Julian Hall<\/a>, who has scored 9 goals and created 12 chances in 1,555 minutes, plus Jorge Ruvalcaba’s 7 goals and 18 chances created, with Emil Forsberg’s 30 chances created underlining his creative influence through midfield.<\/p>\n

Atlanta sit 15th in the East on 12 points from 18 games, with a goal difference of -14, and their recent form of L L D L L points to more defensive trouble under the lights. New York Red Bulls are eighth in the East, firmly in the playoff picture<\/a>, and their own recent form of D W L L W shows they can find goals even when results are mixed. Expect Julian Hall and Jorge Ruvalcaba to find enough openings against a shaky Atlanta backline, with Miranchuk getting the hosts on the board but not enough to prevent New York Red Bulls edging it on the road.<\/p>\n
