NYCFC-Atlanta: Neck and Neck

Sunday will mark the fifth meeting between NYCFC and Atlanta United and the teams cannot be separated on the head-to-head.

Both sides won 3-1 in their home meetings in Atlanta’s inaugural 2017 season and the teams have shared two ties in the 2018 clashes, meaning history gives us no clues as to how this one will turn out.

That said, City did everything but win in Patrick Vieira’s final game in charge in June, with Brad Guzan by far the busier of the two goalkeepers with 25 shots raining in on the away goal.
