New York Red Bulls
Sparkles will be flying when Orlando City and New York Red Bulls square off against each other in the MLS playoffs semis. The Lions defeated Atlanta United thanks to Ramiro Enrique’s goal in the quarter-finals and they are seen as favourites to beat the Metros in front of home fans as well. Goalkeeper Mason Stajduhar remains in the recovery room, but the 26-year-old Mason Stajduhar should be the only absentee in the home team.
New York Red Bulls, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-0 win over their local rivals New York Red Bulls. Orlando City, though, are a real force to be reckoned with at home and that is the main reason why we are going to place our bets on Oscar Pareja’s troops. Sean Nealis limped off with injury in the New York derby, with Noah Eile likely to step up.
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.
