General match analysis
New York RB are showing significantly better current form: they have collected 7 points from their last 5 matches, while Atlanta United have managed just 1, losing 4 games. The hosts have conceded as many as 12 goals during this period, and their season record stands at 19 goals scored and 33 conceded, with just 3 wins. The visitors are more effective away from home, averaging 1.44 goals and 5.44 shots on target per match, compared with Atlanta’s 1.38 goals and 4.63 shots on target at home. Atlanta concede an average of 1.75 goals at home and keep a clean sheet in only 13% of matches, which should give the visitors opportunities to convert their xG of 1.56. New York RB’s defense is also not entirely reliable, as they have failed to keep a single clean sheet away from home; however, the hosts’ poor run strongly favors a win for the New York side.

Atlanta also have a very weak defense, conceding an average of 2.00 goals per game this season and 2.40 across their last five matches. The attacking potential of both sides is supported by xG figures of 1.71 for Atlanta and 1.56 for New York RB, while the visitors average 5.44 shots on target per match. BTTS has landed in 60% of Atlanta’s last five games and 80% of New York RB’s, making a goal for each team the more likely outcome.

The visitors have kept no clean sheets, whereas the hosts have done so in only 11% of their matches. The 1.5 line has been covered in 89% of Atlanta’s matches and 100% of New York RB’s matches, making it the strongest signal among the available goal lines. In their last five matches, Atlanta conceded 12 goals and New York RB conceded 9, while the teams’ average xG against their opponents stands at 1.68 and 1.75, respectively. In addition, the league averages 3.22 goals per match, which is why Over 1.5 has a clear edge despite Atlanta’s weaker recent finishing.
View Over/Under statisticsHT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario
New York RB have a clearly stronger profile over their last five matches: they averaged 1.4 goals scored, conceded 1.8, and won 40% of their games, while Atlanta failed to win any, scored just 1.0 goal per match, and lost 80% of the time. The first-half outlook is particularly important for the HT/FT market: the visitors were leading at the break in 3 of their last 5 matches, while Atlanta were trailing after 45 minutes in 3 of 5, having averaged just 0.2 goals scored before half-time compared with 1.2 for New York RB. The visitors also produce more shots on target per match, 5.44 versus 4.89, and their average xG of 1.56 supports the scenario of taking an early lead. Atlanta remain dangerous given their 1.71 xG and the fact that New York RB concede an average of 2.33 goals, but the hosts’ current run and their 2.4 goals conceded per match over their last five appearances more strongly support the visitors holding on to their lead through full-time.
