Prediction: 2-3
New York Red Bulls
All eyes will be on Yankee Stadium when New York City and New York Red Bulls face each other in a local derby on Saturday. The Blue Pigeons do not seem to be at their sharpest, with the team failing to win the previous five league fixtures, and it is no surprise the odds for away win have been dropping. All Alexander Callens, Keaton Parks, and Alfredo Morelos are injured for the hosts, who are with one foot in the Eastern Conference playoffs.
The Metros, on the other hand, quickly bounced back from a 2-0 loss to Philadelphia Union, with the team beating New England Revolution in their last league fixture. Since the visitors have been in a much better form of that the hosts, we predict that Gerhard Struber’s men are going to emerge triumphant in the New York derby. Dru Yearwood is back from suspension, while both Serge Ngoma and Anthony Marcucci continue to miss out with injuries for the away side.
Highlighted Player (Alfredo Morales):
Alfredo Morales is an American football player who was born in Berlin on 12 May, 1990. The USA midfielder moved to Germany as a boy and he played for the likes of BSC Reinickendorf 21, Borussia Pankow, FC Concordia Wilhelmsruh and Hertha BSC during his youth career.
Morales played 81 games for Hertha II at senior level, scoring 11 league goals for the capital club. He made 20 appearances for the first team as well, but in 2013 he joined Ingolstadt on a two-year deal. Alfredo Morales was eligible to play for both Germany and USA, but he decided to represent the Yanks on the international level.
The 183-cm-tall midfielder made his USA debut on 29 January, 2013 against Canada. He came as a substitute 15 minutes before the final whistle. It has to be noted that Morales represented United States of America at the 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup. His main position is central midfield, but he is capable of playing as both centre back and a defensive midfielder.
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.
