Atlanta United have faced the New York Red Bulls a total of 9 times in its history. Its only win: a 3-0 victory at Red Bull Arena in the 1st leg of the 2018 Eastern Conference Finals to set up a ticket to MLS Cup (RBNY won the 2nd leg, 1-0, but Atlanta advanced on aggregate). Outside of that, the Red Bulls have dominated: 6-0-2, including a 5-0-2 mark in the regular season.
On this week’s episode of Five Stripes Tonight, I’ll be joined by Joe Goldstein, the co-host of the Seeing Red podcast, to get his take on the Red Bulls thus far under 1st-year coach Gerhard Struber, who’s stood out, Caden Clark’s transfer to RB Leipzig, and what expectations are for the club in 2021.
