🗞️ Team News: Atlanta United

Nearly everyone is up for selection, with just a single fitness concern for the Atlanta United manager Rob Valentino to be concerned about from an otherwise fully-primed group of players. Xande Silva (Foot injury) misses out.

We think that The Five Stripes will possibly use a 4-2-3-1 formation in the match, utilising Brad Guzan, Noah Cobb, Stian Gregersen, Derrick Williams, Pedro Amador, Bartosz Slisz, Ajani Fortune, Saba Lobzhanidze, Alexey Miranchuk, Tyler Wolff and Daniel Rios.

📋 Team News: New York Red Bulls

New York Red Bulls boss Sandro Schwarz has some current player fitness concerns. Kyle Duncan (Knee surgery), Wikelman Carmona (Hamstring injury) and Roald Mitchell (Cruciate ligament tear) are not able to play.

We are inclined to think that Red Bulls seem most likely to make use of a 4-4-2 system by sending out Carlos Coronel, Dylan Nealis, Sean Nealis, Noah Eile, John Tolkin, Cameron Harper, Felipe Carballo, Daniel Edelman, Emil Forsberg, Lewis Morgan and Dante Vanzeir.

✨ Prediction

It’s looking like New York Red Bulls and Atlanta United may well find themselves both scoring in what promises to be a very even battle here.
