Players to watch out for:
Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting (NY Red Bulls)
The former Bayern Munich striker has showcased his great qualities perfectly in the ongoing league campaign so far. In his first 16 appearances, Choupo-Moting has found the back of the net nine times. He is very versatile and is equally threatening in the penalty box and with his back to goal as well.
With his experience, he will be given the responsibility to lead the NY Red Bulls to victory against Atlanta United.
Emmanuel Latte Lath (Atlanta United)
The striker joined MLS from Middlesbrough during the winter transfer window and made an instant impact. He was the top goalscorer for his former club and will look to replicate a similar form for Atlanta United. Emmanuel is a strong presence in the opposition box and is a physical specimen.
