Betting on Minnesota United FC
Adrian Heath’s side is coming off a valuable win away to FC Dallas thanks to the goalscoring contribution of Mender Garcia. With a week’s rest under its belt, the team will be looking to polish up some of the weaknesses it showed on the opening day.
The Loons were outplayed by their opponents for much of the game. This is evidenced by their low possession percentage (38%) and a record of only three shots on goal in 90 minutes.
The key to Minnesota United’s success lies in its defense. After the arrival of Miguel Tapias and Zarek Valentin to the club, the fifth-ranked team in the Western Conference seems to have completely recovered its solidity in the back line:in its last three challenges, it allowed just one goal.
Possible Lineup (4-2-3-1): Dayne St. Clair; Kemar Lawrence, Miguel Tapias, Michael Boxall, Zarek Valentin; Kervin Arriaga, Wil Trapp; Franco Fragapane, Robin Lod, Bongokuhle Hlongwane; Mender Garcia.
Betting on New York Red Bulls
Gerhard Struber’s squad is still winless so far this MLS season. It is coming off a narrow loss to Orlando City and a scoreless draw against Nashville SC. Despite the lack of goals, with only one in two games, the New Yorkers left good impressions in both performances, but failed to score the final goal.
The data are not very encouraging. If we take into account the last three visits of New York Red Bulls to foreign lands, all of them were defeats. However, when the visitors are not favored to take the three points, they have a 60% win rate, a stat to keep in mind heading into this Minnesota United vs New York Red Bulls. Are you going to waste it?
Possible Lineup (4-4-2): Carlos Coronel; Cameron Harper, Andres Reyes, Sean Nealis, John Tolkin; Luquinhas, Franuel Amaya, Cristian Casseres, Lewis Morgan; Tom Barlow, Elias Manoel.
JefeBet Prediction
Minnesota United vs New York Red Bulls show totally different realities. A team that has already won three points in its debut will play against a team that has yet to taste the taste of victory.
In Minnesota’s last five challenges played at Allianz Field, the Over (2.5) was met in four of them. Although the local defense shined in their last presentation and the visitors are not getting back on their feet, at JefeBet we predict that the record will prevail over the facts.
Prediction: New York Red Bulls Moneyline and Over (MIN 1-2 NYR).
