MLS action on Friday as Red Bulls and Atlanta meet at Red Bull Arena – 3:00am GMT.

This clash sees third placed Red Bulls, welcome eleventh placed Atlanta to Red Bull Arena.

Red Bulls’ campaign so far has seen them accrue 26 points this season

Another victory would be a terrific achievement, but that is what Gerhard Struber will be asking from his team, as they go into this game on the back of strong results after beating Los Angeles FC 2-0 and Toronto FC 2-0

Also, Red Bulls need to find a way to generate wins on a consistent basis, as they’ve recorded three losses in their last five meetings. With a third position in the league and 0 wins, 0 losses and 0 draws, they currently have 26 points in the League.

When Red Bulls host Atlanta, they will do so on the back of two victories, four draws, and two defeats on their own ground.

A win in this fixture, would take Red Bulls’s points from 26 to 29, so far this season.

Atlanta United go into this fixture with 19 points secured

Atlanta will be full of confidence, going into this fixture on that back of two successive wins against Toronto FC and Inter Miami. They will need this if they are to retain their run.

Also, league success is all about winning football matches, any way you can, so five losses in 10 matches would not make this a successful season for Atlanta. They currently stand eleventh in the League, with 19 points for a total of 0 wins, 0 losses and 0 draws.

Atlanta have had a disappointing run of performances on the road, having won one game, drawn one game, and lost five fixtures of their seven League matches on the road this season.

A victory for Atlanta United would put them on 22 points.
