Our prediction for this MLS match:
New York Red Bulls will try to recover from a heart-breaking loss to New York City when they take on Charlotte in a highly-anticipated MLS game. The Metros are eyeing their fourth home win of the process, but they will have to showcase their worth on the field. Captain Sean Nealis serves a one-game ban, while all Ronald Donkor, Peter Stroud, and Roald Mitchell remain on the sidelines with injuries.
Charlotte, on the other hand, have been impressive at the back of late, with the team eyeing their sixth consecutive clean sheet in the MLS. Preventing New York Red Bulls from scoring at Red Bull Arena, though, is easier said than done. Taking everything into account, home win should be considered. As for the away team, midfielder Brecht Dejaegere is back from suspension, whilst all Junior Urso, Jere Uronen, and Brandon Cambridge miss out with injuries.
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.
