Prediction: 1-2
New York Red Bulls
New York Red Bulls will be aiming to cement their spot in the MLS play-offs when they take on Montreal Impact at Stade Saputo on the last day of the season. The Metros have been impressive at the back of late, with the team keeping a clean sheet in each of their last three league fixtures and we are positive that they will rely on their rock-solid defence in Sunday’s clash against Montreal.
New York Red Bulls aim to finish the regular season in 4th position in the standings and seeing that the Canadian outfit have little to play for in the Stade Saputo clash, away win should be considered. In their last away game in the Major League Soccer New York Red Bulls defeated Portland Timbers, which is yet another reason why we believe that there is a big value in betting on the visitors.

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.
