My Prediction
New York Red Bulls by 1Ah, soccer, everyone's favorite sport where you can play for 90 minutes and still end up with a scoreline emptier than a politician's promise. The New York Red Bulls are going head to head against Atlanta United FC, and oh boy, it's shaping up to be a slobber knocker.
The Red Bulls have their man Carlos Coronel defying gravity on goalkeeping duties, having a decent season pulling out 24 saves. On the other end, Atlanta United presents Brad Guzan, who’s been busier than a one-legged man at a butt-kicking contest, racking up 30 saves.
When it comes to top players, the Red Bulls boast goal machines like Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting with 6 goals, and Emil Forsberg adding 2 more to their tally. On the other side, Atlanta likes to mix things up a bit. Aleksei Miranchuk, Ajani Fortune, and Derrick Williams have been more coordinated than synchronized swimmers, each netting one goal.
In their past encounters, it’s been a case of "you win some, you lose some". They've traded blows with varying outcomes, the most recent one being a rather boring parliamentary debate of a game ending in 0-0.
The recent performance though tells a slightly different story – a story that might have been penned by Stephen King from Atlanta United's perspective as they're enduring a horror show with only 4 victories in the season to New York’s 7. Plus, we’ve got the Red Bulls tearing apart LA Galaxy 7-0, while United just barely got the best of Orlando City SC and FC Cincinnati with a single goal edge.
So, with my crystal ball all shined up, ready to spill the beans on this one...
