Atlanta United host New York Red Bulls at Mercedes Benz Stadium as the Eastern conference final gets underway this Sunday. New York are a thorn in Atlanta’s side, as Red Bulls are one of a handful of team that Atlanta has yet to beat in two seasons.
New York are 3-0-1 in the series, including two wins in Atlanta. The last win in Atlanta came in May, a 3-1 drubbing in strange circumstances. Red Bulls most recently defeated the Five Stripes at Red Bull Arena in a 2-0 shutout.
