On Sunday, November 25, the New York Red Bulls will square off against Atlanta United, at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, in leg one of the Eastern Conference Championship.
The Red Bulls have fared well against Atlanta United this season, having defeated them in Atlanta, and at Red Bull Arena during the regular season.
Even with that success, the team is going in with the mindset that they shouldn’t be deemed automatic favorites, because past victories don’t really matter at this point.
“No, I don’t see us as favorites at all actually,” Sean Davis said. “It’s the playoffs, we know how talented Atlanta is, they are a fantastic group and I think at this point we just have to turn the page and reset.
