This game offers Atlanta the chance to increase their lead at the top of the Eastern conference as they currently have a seven points cushion on their visitors, although the Red Bulls have played two games less.

Red Bull could actually move to within four points of Atlanta if they can secure a win at the Mercedes Benz Arena in this game. If they win the two outstanding games they have that would take them ahead of the in-form Atlanta United, but that would be easier said than done.

The last time these sides met the Red Bulls were the host, but in truth, it was a dull match as the game ended in a stalemate with the Red Bulls winning in overall possessions and shot on goal only.

Ahead of this game, the two teams are identical in terms of form as they have both won four, drew one and lost one of their last six games in all competitions. They both drew a blank the last time both teams met, but this game should see at least a goal as lighting would find it hard to strike in the same place twice in this fixture.

Atlanta are new to the MLS and as such have only faced New York RB twice in their brief history, and as things stand Red Bulls are unbeaten against United with one win and one draw to their name.

Wolfsburg took a giant step towards playing the Bundesliga yet again next season when they won the first leg of this playoff 3-1 at home.

Liverpool loanee, Dick Origi was the star of the show in that first leg as he scored one and set up two more goals to help the 2009 Bundesliga champions to a comfortable two goals cushion, but would that be too much for the impressive Bundesliga 2 side to overturn in this game?

Keil goalkeeper,  Kenneth Kronholm helped a lot to keep this score respectable before the return leg, and the late sitter missed by their in-form striker Marvin Ducksch could become more expensive if they find chances had to come by in this game, but they gave a good account of themselves in the first leg and if they can just shut out the Wolves and break their defence down, they could win this game.

Wolfsburg have kept a clean sheet in 35% of their away Bundesliga games this season and the difference in class between the Bundesliga and Bundesliga 2 should see them keep their host at bay here too.

The hosts, however, are not the kind of team you want to give chances as they netted 71 times in the German second division this season and come into this match with 18 goals from their last six games in all competitions.

Wolfsburg won 3-1 at home to Holstein Kiel in the 1st leg of the Bundesliga playoffs last Thursday. Wolfsburg’s 9-1 win over Holstein Kiel in 1986 is the joint-biggest in their history.

These two teams would be disappointed to be so far off the top of the league table at this stage of the season as Nordsjealland and Copenhagen are 24 and 25 points off the top going into this clash. This game is still a big one for both teams as the result would decide who finishes thrid and fourth on the league table heading into the Championship Playoffs.

Copenhagen had gone five matches without beating their host in this fixture, but that all changed in the last fixture as they came from 2-1 down to beat Nordjealland thanks to a late winner from their striker, Santander. They would be looking for another win in this game.

Both of these sides are not in great form heading into this game, but Copenhagen seems to be doing better as they have three wins, two losses and a draw from their last six competitive games.

The hosts have just a single win from their last six games and have lost three of those games also.

These two teams have met on 52 occasions before this game, and with an impressive 32 wins, 11 draws, and 9 defeats its Copenhagen who have dominated this fixture over the past few seasons.

Nordsjaelland however, have a single loss from their last six matches against Copenhagen.
