Our prediction for this MLS match:
New York Red Bulls will look to bounce back from a 2-0 loss to Philadelphia Union when they take on Sporting Kansas City on Sunday morning. The Metros aim to put an end to their four-game winless run in all competitions and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against the Wizards. All Wikelman Carmona, Emil Forsberg, and Roald Mitchell continue to miss out with injuries, while top scorer Lewis Morgan is on international duty with Scotland.
Sporting Kansas City, meanwhile, outplayed Orlando City 3-0 in their last league match and given Morgan’s absence, we predict that the visitors are going to grab something from the Red Bull Arena clash as well. Taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. Midfielder William Agada is banned for the visiting side, while all Nemanja Radoja, Robert Castellanos, and Memo Rodriguez are out of contention with injuries.
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.
