In Major League Soccer, New York City will play Atlanta United at Yankee Stadium. The two teams will come into this game hoping for a win having struggled the previous time out. How will these two teams approach this game as they eye a playoff spot? Let’s preview this game and offer some betting opportunities. 

New York City: Form and Statistics

New York City have now gone winless in two consecutive matches and will hope for a better result here. Following a defeat to Houston Dynamo which ended 0-3 in late May, this team could only force a 2-2 draw with Nashville SC in game week 17. However, prior encounters saw New York City go unbeaten in three consecutive matches, defeating Chicago Fire and New York Red Bulls while picking a draw against DC United. New York City are seated 10th in the Eastern Conference, leveled on points, 25, with 8th and 9th placed Charlotte and Chicago Fire.

Atlanta United struggled against the New York Red Bulls in their last league game which ended 2-0.

However, prior encounters saw Atlanta United picked up consecutive wins over FC Cincinnati and Orlando City. Atlanta United sit 13th in the standings with 17 points having scored 21 goals in 17 league games this season.

New York City vs Atlanta United: Match Prediction 13 June 2025

New York City should be the better team in this game and it is clear how they play compared to Atlanta United. While they have only lost once, their recent home matches have also shown they can struggle with two defeats in their last four. However, Atlanta United have not been able to cement themselves as a serious team to consider this season and despite some amazing displays against Orlando City and FC Cincinnati, I believe they were just lucky. Yet, it is tough to write Atlanta United off given New York City have also had some struggling play. Therefore, in a game where we should expect a lot of defensive struggles, I will back this game to end with goals while New York City wins.
