Atlanta United Seeks Redemption Against NYCFC to End Winless Streak
March 28, 2025
Currently, Atlanta holds a record of one win, two losses, and two draws, totaling five points, which is four points fewer than they had at the same point last season.
Despite a lackluster offensive performance against Columbus, NYCFC managed to secure their first clean sheet of the season, marking a defensive improvement.
Injury updates indicate that NYCFC's leading goalscorer Alonso Martínez is anticipated to return from international duty, which could bolster their attacking lineup.
Atlanta United is set to host New York City FC on March 30, 2025, as they aim to break a four-match winless streak in Major League Soccer.
After starting the season with a victory over CF Montreal, Atlanta has struggled to maintain consistency, dropping five points from winning positions in their last two matches.
In contrast, New York City FC enters the match with a record of two wins, one loss, and two draws, totaling eight points, following a recent scoreless draw against Columbus Crew.
Atlanta's injury concerns include Jamal Thiare and Edwin Mosquera, while Mateusz Klich is expected to return after a quad strain.
First-year coach Pascal Jansen of NYCFC acknowledged the need for improved offensive performance after his team managed only five shots in their last game, none of which were on target.
Historically, NYCFC has been unbeaten in their last four visits to Atlanta, including a comeback draw from a 2-0 deficit last year.
The predicted outcome of the match is a 3-1 victory for Atlanta United, given their attacking strengths against NYCFC's recent struggles.
The match is scheduled to kick off at 7:30 PM ET / 4:30 PM PT, and fans in the United States can watch it live on Apple TV via the MLS Season Pass.
For viewers abroad, using a virtual private network (VPN) may be necessary to access streaming services, with new subscribers able to try Apple TV+ for free.
