Preview
NYCFC’s search for a win since May continued with a battling 4-4 draw away to Cincinnati on Thursday.
Heber scored a brace while Magno and Pereira also found the net for NYCFC. Meanwhile, Silva led the way for Cincinnati with a hat-trick alongside a strike from Acosta.
This was a massive dent of confidence to NYCFC as they are struggling to pick up three points since last week of May.
Their poor run of results has stretched to 4 matches across competitions as they are in 4th place with 28 points.
On the other hand, Atlanta United suffered successive defeats in their 2-1 loss to NY Red Bulls on Friday.
Also read: Martinez gave them the lead in the 75th minute before goals from Morgan and Ngoma in the last 7 minutes of play ensured a defeat from the clutches of victory.
With that loss, Atlanta stay in 11th place with 19 points from 16 matches and hope to arrest this slump like the hosts.
Both teams last met in November 2021, where NYCFC won 2-0 at home.

Prediction: NYCFC 2-1 Atlanta United
We should see the hosts finally get a win and get their campaign back on track. The visitors have a long list of injuries, which puts them on the backfoot.
While one is competing in top 5, the other is outside the top 10. Due to the difference in experience and quality, we should see New York get the result.
