Atlanta United vs New York Red Bulls: Match Thread and How to Watch

After a hot start to 2023, a depleted Atlanta United came crashing back to Earth in a historically bad 6-1 loss in Columbus. Luckily, the international break has come to an end, and the Five Stripes are mostly restocked (minus Andrew Gutman, who joins the injury list) for a return home this evening.

Unfortunately, that opponent is the New York Red Bulls, an in-conference rival that Atlanta has failed to defeat in the regular season… ever. Could that change tonight? Newly minted Argentina goalscorer and MLS Player of the Month Thiago Almada, a starting Giorgos Giakoumakis, and (crucially) Miles Robinson may have something to say, but things certainly won’t come easy for the Five Stripes to beat the Red Bull press and get back on track.
