In this episode of the podcast “Southern Fried Soccer,” host Doug Roberson of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reviews Atlanta United’s 2-2 draw with Inter Miami and previews Saturday’s MLS match against the New York Red Bulls.

BOTTOM LINE: The New York Red Bulls host Atlanta United in conference play. The Red Bulls are 8-6-7 against conference opponents. The Red Bulls are sixth in the Eastern Conference with 45 goals led by Lewis Morgan with 12. United is 8-8-5 in conference matchups. United is 3-0-0 when it scores at least three goals.

Despite a recent lack of consistent scoring, the New York Red Bulls find themselves in a decent playoff position but also know their favorable position can change in a hurry.

Perhaps more true than against any other MLS team, Atlanta United must get off to a fast start when it plays the New York Red Bulls on Saturday.
