Our prediction for this MLS match:
New York Red Bulls and New York City square off against each other at Red Bull Arena in what is expected to be one of the most exciting games of Sunday’s program. The Red Bulls failed to win the previous five league matches, but it seems as if their performances are much better than the results. The likes of Carmona, Duncan, and Mitchell remain in the recovery room, while former Leipzig ace Emil Forsberg is a major doubt.
The Blue Pigeons, on the other hand, aim to put an end to their nine-game winless run and seeing that both sides will go for a win in Sunday’s clash, we are tempted to place our bets on both teams to score. Defender Strahinja Tanasijevic is banned for the visitors, while both Birk Risa and Malachi Jones miss out with injuries. In their last meeting in the Major League Soccer New York City defeated New York Red Bulls 2-1.
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.
