One of the biggest matches of the 2018 MLS season takes place this Sunday afternoon. First-place Atlanta United are traveling to Harrison, New Jersey, to face second-place, the New York Red Bulls. This match will effectively decide who wins this year’s Supporters’ Shield. Atlanta have 63 points, four ahead of New York, who have 59 points. An Atlanta win would all but secure the club’s first piece of silverware, while a New York win would make the last three weeks of the season extremely interesting.
Atlanta are coming off a big week that saw three wins and nine points, while the Red Bulls are coming off a somewhat disappointing week.
