FC Cincinnati vs. New York Red Bulls
Saturday, July 9, 2022 – 07:30 PM EDT at Nippert Stadium
Form, Mentality and MLS Trends
-
From their previous 25 MLS home games, Cincinnati has won just four games
-
Under 2.5 goals have been scored in New York Red Bull’s previous five away games
New York is Vying to Maintain the Top Spot
Nineteen games deep into the 2022 MLS season and the New York Red Bulls are proudly sat on top of the Eastern Conference division. However, they mustn’t take their foot off the gas because a slight two-point separation between themselves and Philadelphia could mean that a losing trip to Cincinnati this weekend may result in a drop-down to second.
With that said, spirits are high in the Red Bull locker room as they’ve won back-to-back meetings against Atlanta United and Sporting Kansas City. Mainly showing their no-quit attitude versus Atlanta – a game they were losing with seven minutes remaining – when two late goals with minutes remaining sealed the deal and all three points.
Gerhard Strubers’ squad has won nine games this season, and six of those successes have arrived when playing on the road. NY Red Bulls have thrived when playing away from home, and they’ll gladly take another three points on hostile territory this Saturday evening.
Cincinnati Aims to Disrupt the Top Four
Unbeaten in four consecutive MLS meetings, fifth-placed FC Cincinnati will continue their quest for greatness since breaking the club record for points gathered in a single regular MLS season (25 points from 18 games).
Coach Pat Noonan has worked magic this term for a team that wasn’t expected to be a serious challenger. Still, he’ll understand the difficulty heading into this week’s fixture when facing the Eastern Conference leaders.
Solace for Noonan and company can be found in their recent record versus NY Red Bulls, as they’ve managed to take seven points from an available 12 when playing this New York side, including three clean sheets.
Final Thoughts | MLS Betting Odds
The betting odds slightly favor the visitors, but moneyline prices on either team provides a plus-money offering. However, picking a side to win isn’t necessary when almost every time these sides meet, a tightly fought game with a lack of goals is usually the glaring outcome.
I’m expecting a bore draw, but should one of these sides manage to sneak a victory, I believe it’ll be by one goal, making the under 2.5 goals close to plus-money a backable position.
