Playoff-Scenarios-ATL-NYRB

Currently sitting in 12th place in the Eastern Conference standings, there's still a chance for Atlanta United (8-14-10) to clinch a spot in the 2024 MLS Cup Playoffs. However, the team has work to do in order to qualify.

First, a result against New York Red Bulls, who have already clinched a playoff spot, is vital for Atlanta United's playoff hopes. A loss Saturday would mean elimination for Atlanta. In the event of a draw, the team could also get some help from other conference clubs in their matches Saturday.

Here are the various scenarios that would eliminate Atlanta United from contention for the Audi 2024 MLS Cup Playoffs:

  1. Atlanta United LOSS vs. New York Red Bulls OR
  2. Atlanta United DRAW vs. New York Red Bulls AND D.C. United WIN at New England Revolution OR
  3. Atlanta United DRAW vs. New York Red Bulls AND Philadelphia Union WIN at Columbus Crew OR
  4. Atlanta United DRAW vs. New York Red Bulls AND Toronto FC WIN/DRAW vs. Inter Miami CF OR
  5. Toronto FC WIN vs. Inter Miami CF AND CF Montréal WIN/DRAW at Charlotte FC

So, Atlanta United supporters will want results to go the way of New England Revolution, Columbus Crew, Inter Miami CF and Charlotte FC on Saturday.

No matter what, Atlanta United needs to take care of business on their own turf and get a win in the match against Red Bulls.

"We have to control what we can control, and that's about our effort and our attitude on the field," interim head coach Rob Valentino said during media availability on Friday.
