Coming off a strong performance in Orlando, Atlanta United (8-2-1) return to Mercedes-Benz Stadium to host the New York Red Bulls (6-3-0). This will mark only the second time the teams have met in Atlanta, the other being ATL UTD’s inaugural match that New York spoiled last year. While both sides have had a strong start to the 2018 season, it’s Atlanta that leads the pack, sitting at the top of the Supporters’ Shield standings. Make sure to tune in Sunday night on FS1 at 7:00 p.m. EST to catch every minute.
