NYCFC at NY Red Bulls 7/14/19 - MLS Picks & Predictions

Here comes another Hudson River Derby on Sunday when the Red Bulls will play host to NYCFC. The Red Bulls have a great chance to take the three points in this match, as NYCFC have been struggling lately.

The Red Bulls (8-7-4) fought really hard on the road against Atlanta, where the two teams eventually split the points in a mouth-watering 3-3 draw. But the Red Bulls have won just one of their last five matches in all competitions (1-2-2). They are 6th in the East with 28 points, one behind their rivals. They have been quite solid at home so far (6-3-1). But they have only kept three clean sheets there so far. NYCFC (7-2-8) saw their undefeated streak come to an end with a home loss against Portland last week. And mid-week they played 120 minutes and penalties against Orlando City in the US Open Cup quarter-finals. They are sitting at the 5th spot of the East with 29 points, just three behind the 2nd DC United. NYCFC have been really good on the road so far (3-1-4). All three wins came with clean sheets and they have only failed to score once.

The Red Bulls have been tremendous as hosts in this match-up too (6-1-1). NYCFC played 120 minutes and did the shoot-out on Wednesday. The Red Bulls have been tremendous as hosts against NYCFC and I think they have the upper hand here. NYCFC used a lot of starters on Wednesday and fatigue adds up.
