San Jose Quakes at NY Red Bulls 3/16/19 - MLS Picks & Predictions

The NY Red Bulls have only played a single match so far in the MLS, a draw against Columbus. They were caught up in CONCACAF Champions League matches lately but were eliminated. They will now play their home opener against the weak San Jose on Saturday. San Jose started off with two home losses and this already looks like a lost season.

The Red Bulls (0-0-1) played a really balanced match on the road against Columbus Crew in the season opener. They actually took the lead in that match but were equalized at the end of the first half. They had more chances to score a winning goal in the second half but settled for a 1-1 draw. Their two most recent matches were for the Champions League, where they lost both at home and away against Santos Laguna. San Jose (0-2-0) made a solid start in the season when they took the lead against Montreal, but ended up losing by 2-1 at home. Their second match was pretty similar, as they hosted Minnesota United. This was also a pretty balanced match but San Jose conceded three second-half goals to lose by 3-0. They have already sank to the bottom of the Western Conference and their schedule looks really hard.
