The Red Bulls won their away match against Cincinnati and have been really strong over the past month or so. They will now look for their fourth win in five matches when they will play host to Real Salt Lake on Saturday. Real Salt Lake finally saw their winning streak come to an end with a loss in Montreal.

The NY Red Bulls (6-5-3) are coming off a pretty weak performance on the road against Cincinnati, but they did score twice in their two shots on goal, to win by 2-0. They are now undefeated in their last four (3-0-1) and have lost just once in their last seven (5-1-1). The Red Bulls are sitting at the 5th spot of the Eastern Conference with 21 points, two behind Atlanta United. They have not been very strong at home so far (4-3-1). Real Salt Lake (6-7-1) were not very bad in their away match against Montreal but ended up losing by 1-2. That loss came after a three-match winning streak for Real Salt Lake. They are still sitting at the 6th spot of the Western Conference with 19 points, one ahead of Dallas and two behind Minnesota. Real Salt Lake have only won two of their eight away matches so far in the season (2-5-1) and have kept just one clean sheet.

Real Salt Lake have been great in this match-up lately, having lost just one of the last five matches against the Red Bulls. But it is the Red Bulls who have been excellent as hosts in this match-up (5-1-4). Real Salt Lake have struggled to get results on the road against solid teams, and I think that the Red Bulls have the upper hand here.
