The NY Red Bulls have not been very good so far in the season and are coming off back to back losses without even scoring. They will now get a strong match-up on Saturday, as they will have to play host to Minnesota United. The visitors might be coming off back to back losses themselves, but they have been firing in all cylinders this season.

The NY Red Bulls (1-2-0) were quite bad and very unlucky in their away match against Chicago Fire over the weekend. They were unable to create scoring chances or shots on goal, just like their opponents, but the Red Bulls scored an own goal at the start of the second half that determined that match. The Red Bulls have not been playing good soccer this season and it is no wonder they are sitting at the 8th spot of the Eastern Conference with 4 points. On the other hand, Minnesota United (2-2-0) played a really balanced match on the road against New England, but despite pulling even at the 26th minute they ended up losing by 1-2. That was their second consecutive loss but Minnesota United are always fighting and have scored in all their matches so far. They also scored multiple goals on three occasions, a total of nine goals so far. Their production is good enough to keep them at the 7th spot of the Conference with 6 points.

The two teams have met twice in the past, with the Red Bulls winning both matches. Oddly enough, they won both at home and on the road by the same 0-3/3-0 scoreline. But this time around Minnesota United are much better, and are playing better than the Red Bulls. I will take the Over 3 Goals on this one, while the visitors should be able to cover the spread.
