Our prediction for this MLS match:
Saputo Stadium will host Sunday’s MLS game between Montreal and New York Red Bulls, the two bottom-table sides. Montreal made a slow start to the season, with the team losing six of the first seven games of the season. The rock-bottom side are desperate to put an end to their three-game losing run, but given their difficulties in front of goal, home win should not be considered. Montreal’s injury list is pretty long, including the likes of Rommel Quioto, Mason Toye, Lassi Lappalainen, Samuel Piette, Jojea Kwizera, Matko Miljevic, George Campbell, and James Pantemis.
The Metros, meanwhile, aim to put an end to their four-game winless run. Considering that New York Red Bulls will go for a victory as well, we are going to put our money on both teams to score. As for the away side, Dante Vanzeir is banned for the match, while all Frankie Amaya, Matthew Nocita, Luquinhas, Lewis Morgan, and Serge Ngoma remain in the recovery room.
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.
