New York City
We’re going for NYCFC at +700 to secure a 2-1 win. It’s exciting to bet on the correct score and this wager will hopefully be able to land a nice return.

Ajani Fortune (Atlanta) can be backed to finish with a minimum of one shot on goal at +190. It’s really hard to rule him out at an attractive price for the Shots on Target betting market.
Tristan Muyumba (Atlanta) has scored three goals in his past ten MLS matches. We’ll throw a dart at +600 for this Anytime Goalscorer wager as the betting odds look pretty attractive.

Atlanta United vs New York City Odds
The odds and lines below are updated regularly and may differ from the prices shown in our picks, which are captured at the time of publication.
The bookmakers have Atlanta United at +123 when it comes to 1x2. This suggests that the favourites have a 45% chance of winning this MLS clash based on the betting odds. The market implies that New York City FC are the most unlikely to win at +190.
It sometimes pays to take the Draw No Bet option meaning there’s a safety net if the game ends all square. Atlanta can be backed at -159 or alternatively City are on offer at +110.
If you’re anticipating a high-scoring contest, Over 2.5 Goals has the shortest odds. The Yes pick in the Both Teams to Score market is considered to be the most likely result and it’s trading at -189.
It’s great to access hundreds of markets whichever MLS game interests you. The top football betting sites have got every angle covered for bettors.
Breel Embolo is the market leader at +450 to be First Goalscorer but if you think he will score the last goal, then a similar price can be found.
