Sports Illustrated Stadium will host Sunday's MLS clash between New York Red Bulls and Charlotte, with both sides eager to get back to winning ways after disappointing results following the league restart. The Red Bulls are looking to bounce back from a 3-1 defeat to Philadelphia Union, but they have a few selection concerns ahead of the encounter. Goalkeeper AJ Marcucci remains sidelined through injury, while experienced duo Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting and Omar Mosquera are major doubts. Despite their inconsistent recent form, the hosts have remained dangerous in attack, averaging 1.8 goals per game over their last ten matches, though they have also failed to keep a single clean sheet during that run.
Charlotte, meanwhile, will be disappointed after surrendering a two-goal lead in a 2-2 draw with Atlanta United in their first game after the break. The visitors have struggled on the road of late, collecting just one win from their last four away matches while conceding 2.5 goals per game on average. The return of defender David Schnegg from suspension is a timely boost, but Charlotte will need a much stronger defensive display against a Red Bulls side that has seen both teams score in 80% of their last ten outings. With all eight previous meetings producing at least two goals, another entertaining contest appears to be on the cards.
Neither side has looked convincing defensively, while the Red Bulls have yet to record a clean sheet in their last ten matches. Four of the last eight H2H meetings featured at least three goals, and both teams have been involved in high-scoring games recently. Therefore, BTTS, Over 2.5 and Over 3.5 goals markets seem appealing.
This MLS match will be played on Saturday 25 July 2026 at 23:30.
