KENNESAW, G.A. - New York Red Bulls II (0-0-1, 1 pt.) travel to Georgia for a battle against a familiar face in Atlanta United 2 (0-0-1, 0 pts.). Kickoff is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. ET with coverage available on Apple TV's MLS Season Pass.

New York is looking to bounce back after a crushing draw and eventual shootout loss against Columbus Crew 2 in the team's home opener to start the MLS NEXT Pro season. Wiki Carmona notched the first goal for Red Bulls II in MLS NEXT Pro after capitalizing off a Columbus mistake in the seventh minute. The forward put the ball on net from around 25 yards out and left the keeper standing still.

The II's will attempt to grab their first win in this season to face fellow league expansion club, Atlanta United 2.

Atlanta is coming off a 3-2 loss in their home opener at Fifth Third Bank Stadium against New England. Revolution II took a 3-0 lead in the 60th minute, and Atlanta crawled back with two late goals that weren't enough to earn any points.

The two clubs have played seven matches against each other before today's contest, with New York leading the all-time record 5-2-0. Atlanta has found their most success against New York as the home side, with a record of 2-2-0 on their home turf.
