Our prediction for this MLS match:
Following a 2-1 win over Houston Dynamo, New York Red Bulls will be aiming to record their first home triumph of the season when they take on Dallas at their Red Bull Arena on Sunday morning. The Metros showed character in their second game of the season, with substitute Lewis Morgan starting the comeback. The Scotland midfielder is widely expected to return to the starting XI, while all Kyle Duncan, Ryan Meara, Curtis Ofori, Serge Ngoma, and Cory Burke are sidelined with injuries.
The Toros, on the other hand, aim to recover from a 2-1 loss to Montreal, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry against New York Red Bulls, who are a real force to be reckoned with at home. The visitors will be without Sebastien Ibeagha, Amet Korca, Marco Farfan, Alan Velasco, and Geovane Jesus in Sunday’s encounter.
Highlighted Team (New York Red Bulls):
New York Red Bulls is the first club from New York City to join Major League Soccer. In 2006 the club was sold to Red Bull GmbH and, as a result, they are nicknamed the Red Bulls. New York welcome their rivals at Red Bull Arena and the team’s home colors are white and red.
On the other hand, the Red Bulls wear dark blue shirts and yellow shorts on the road. In 2008 New York Red Bulls made it to the MLS Cup final, but they were not capable of matching Columbus Crew (1-3) in the Home Depot Center clash. A number of top-class footballers were part of the team in the past, but former Arsenal forward Thierry Henry is the synonym of the club.
Henry scored 51 goals in 122 league games for New York Red Bulls from 2010 to 2014 and it has to be noted that he scored his first MLS hat-trick in a 5-2 victory over Montreal Impact on March 31, 2012. The likes of Youri Djorkaeff, Lothar Matthaus, Roberto Donadoni, Rafael Marquez, Juninho and Tim Cahill played for the club in the past as well.
