Betting on the New York Red Bulls
After finishing last season among the top teams in the Eastern Conference, things haven’t been going very well for the New York Red Bulls in this new edition of the MLS.
After 11 matches played, they are at the bottom of the standings with only nine points. However, luckily for them, the last place team is only five units away.
The main problem of Troy Lesesne’s team is its lack of effectiveness in front of the goal. Although the team has only conceded 11 goals, its score of seven goals is the second lowest in the MSL. As a result, the team has only one win and is co-leader in ties with six draws.
That’s why there’s no doubt that this is the game that the New York Red Bulls need to get out of the slump. In addition to facing their city rival, in their first five home games, they only lost last week to Philadelphia, and have achieved their only victory in front of their fans.
Possible Lineup (3-4-1-2): Carlos Miguel; Andres Reyes, Sean Nealis, John Tolkin; Dylan Nealis, Daniel Edelman, Cristian Cásseres Jr., Cameron Harper; Omir Fernandez; Tom Barlow, Elias Manoel.
Betting on New York City Football Club
The New York City FC, on the other hand, may be far from the top of the Eastern Conference, but it is currently holding on to a playoff spot in the MLS.
Despite losing the last two games, the New Yorkers currently hold fifth place in the Conference standings with 15 points earned, only nine points behind the leaders New England and Cincinnati, but six points ahead of their upcoming opponent.
Nick Cushing’s team has had a consistent performance so far, as shown by its four wins, three draws, and four losses this year, with a goal difference of zero, scoring 14 goals and conceding 14 goals.
Interestingly, New York City FC has conceded nine of those goals while playing away, which is where the team will play this Saturday. However, it has yet to win a game on the road this season, having lost all six previous away games.
Possible Lineup (4-2-3-1): Luis Barraza; Tayvon Gray, Thiago Martins, Maxine Chanot, Brian Cufré; James Sands, Keaton Parks; Matias Pellegrini, Richard Ledezma, Gabriel Pereira; Santiago Rodríguez.
JefeBet Prediction
The New York Red Bulls’ season has been a tough one due to their lack of scoring, but they have an excellent opportunity to turn things around this Saturday.
They’ve only lost once at home this year, and are facing New York City FC, a team that has played terribly on the road. Not only has it not won yet in those conditions, but it has also conceded nine goals in six matches, with only four scored.
Additionally, the New York Red Bulls have only lost two of the 15 New York Red Bulls vs New York City FC matches these clubs have had at the Red Bull Arena. While New York City FC won the last time they faced each other in that setting, the New York Red Bulls‘ dominance has been extraordinary.
Prediction: New York Red Bulls Moneyline (NYR 2 – NYC 1).
