The MLS playoffs are fast approaching. With just four games remaining in the regular season, two teams have separated themselves from the pack in the race for the Supporters’ Shield: New York Red Bulls and Atlanta United. New York sit second in MLS on 59 points, four behind league-leading Atlanta, who have 63 points.
They’ll meet in Harrison, New Jersey, this Sunday. The teams will meet for just the fourth time ever, with Atlanta still awaiting their first victory against the Red Bulls. A win for the visitors would give them a seven-point cushion with three games left, all but sealing the Shield and the franchise’s first trophy.
