All eyes will be on Sports Illustrated Stadium when New York Red Bulls and New York City clash in another heated MLS derby on Saturday night. The Red Bulls come into the contest full of confidence after an exciting 3-2 victory over Columbus Crew, a result that snapped a difficult run and highlighted their attacking quality. Home matches involving the Red Bulls have been especially entertaining lately, averaging 4.83 total goals per game across their last six at Sports Illustrated Stadium. Experienced striker Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting remains doubtful, which could slightly affect their attacking setup.
New York City, on the other hand, are in solid form themselves after edging Charlotte 1-0 last time out. The visitors have been particularly effective away from home, winning three of their last five road matches while conceding only 1.2 goals per away game. Injury problems continue to pile up, though, with Baiera, Martinez, O’Neill, O’Toole, and Talles Magno all unavailable. Despite those absences, the Blue Pigeons still have enough pace and creativity to trouble a vulnerable Red Bulls defence. Historically, this derby has often been closely contested, with the Red Bulls holding a slight edge after winning 14 of the previous 29 meetings.
Given New York Reds Bulls' strong home form, we believe that punters worldwide can find value in betting on Home Win, alongside BTTS and Over 2.5 goals (home games involving the Red Bulls consistently produce goals).
This MLS match will be played on Sunday 17 May 2026 at 00:30.
