Why Bet on the NY Red Bulls?
The New York Red Bulls are among those teams that want to aspire to great things this season in MLS. For the time being, despite some slips, they have shown that the wood is there. Last matchday, they beat Charlotte 3-1, thanks to goals from their star player, Swedish midfielder Emil Forsberg, and one more from defender Andres Reyes.Â
The midfielder has scored or assisted in seven of the last nine matches he has played with the Big Apple team, a number to keep in mind in case of what might happen in this game. Forsberg, who played for RB Leipzig, has six goals and five assists, being one of the best-performing players in the league so far.Â
Likewise, at home, this team has not lost, getting 14 points in six games, with four wins and two draws.
There are many injured players in the New York team: Ronald Donkor, Cameron Harper, Roald Mitchell, Serge Ngoma, and Peter Stroud.
Why Bet on Orlando City?
Orlando City is always expected to be a competitive team, but after 15 games, they have been a discreet one, which for now is out of the MLS Playoffs. They are coming off a 1-1 draw with the Chicago Fire away from home. Facundo Torres gave them the lead, but Hugo Cuypers equalized for the home side.Â
This result left the Florida club in 11th place with 17 points from four wins, five draws, and six defeats. It is not normal for this franchise to lose so many games in such a short period. The defense has been a serious problem, as they have allowed 23 conversions. Moreover, their goal differential is -7, which should set off alarm bells.Â
Orlando also expects much more from its most important recruit, Colombian striker Luis Fernando Muriel, who has only two goals in the league.Â
Orlando City has injuries to Mikey Halliday, Duncan McGuire, and Tahir Reid-Brown.Â
