Atlanta United footballers — Atlanta United can paint the town red tonight

"Gonzalo Pineda's Atlanta have won six of their last seven at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, including all of the last four"

Back Atlanta Utd @ 2.588/5 to beat New York City

Atlanta are motoring and Tobias Gourlay fancies they can get another good result at Mercedes-Benz Stadium tonight

Atlanta Utd v New York City
Thursday 00:30 (Live on FreeSports)

In Spain last night, the carnage in Cartagena was more muted than we thought. The home side beat ten-man Sporting Gijon 1-0 to bring down our BTTS bet.

We've crossed the pond today to hit up the MLS for one of tonight's 12 matches. Atlanta United are going well in the Eastern play-off race and look capable of getting the result they crave against out-of-form New York City.

Gonzalo Pineda's Atlanta have won six of their last seven at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, including all of the last four by a margin of 11-2.

Visiting New York City have been struggling recently and the playoffs look beyond them. Ronny Deila's men have failed to score in four straight games home and away. On the road, they are W3-D4-L8, having lost 5/7 since mid-August. NYCFC have lost on two of their last three visits to Atlanta and we like the price on that becoming 3/4 overnight tonight.
