- Atlanta holds a 2-5-4 all-time record against NYCFC in MLS regular season play: 2-1-2 at home and 0-4-2 on the road. NYCFC won the last meeting between the two sides 2-1 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Oct. 9, 2022.
- Atlanta enters Matchday 7 in second place in the Eastern Conference standings on 13 points and at 4-1-1 has equaled the best start in club history through six MLS matches (2018).
- Atlanta has scored at least one goal in each of its first six matches, the longest scoring streak in consecutive games to start a season in club history.
- After defeating New York Red Bulls for the first time in regular season play on Matchday 6, Atlanta is searching for another first on Saturday: a regular season road win at Yankee Stadium. The club will play four of its next five matches on the road, all against Eastern Conference opponents.
- Franco Ibarra won a career-high 15 duels against the Red Bulls, tying the most for a single match in MLS this season. The 21-year-old midfielder ranks second in the league in both duels won (60) and tackles won (17).
- NYCFC heads into Saturday in sixth place in the Eastern Conference with a 2-2-2 record, coming off a 1-1 draw at New England Revolution last weekend. The club has won both of its home matches in 2023, where it has historically been a tough place to play for visiting teams.
Ozzie Alonso is still in ACL recovery and Andrew Gutman is questionable after an adductor injury.
