NY Red Bulls vs. Toronto FC Betting Odds and Info

¿Por qué apostar por los Red Bulls de Nueva York?

The New York Red Bulls had a great 2024 season, reaching the final, where they lost to Los Angeles Galaxy. However, their start to the 2025 season has been far from last year’s level.

In their first match, they lost 1-0 to FC Cincinnati, then secured a 2-0 win against Nashville. Their last two games ended in draws against Atlanta (0-0) and Orlando City (2-2), with the latter being their most recent home match.

On the positive side, Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, the team’s marquee signing for this year, scored his first goal—albeit from a penalty—so expectations remain high for the Cameroonian striker. Additionally, neither Choupo-Moting nor Swedish midfielder Emil Forsberg were called up for international duty, meaning both will be available this weekend.

However, the team will be without key players, including goalkeeper Carlos Coronel (Paraguay), midfielder Dennis Gjengaar (Norway), who scored in the last match, and defender Omar Valencia (Panama), all away with their national teams.

Injury concerns also add to their woes, with Scottish forward Lewis Morgan being the most significant absence. Other injured players include Cameron Harper, Kyle Duncan, Mohammed Sofo, Ronald Donkor, Wiktor Bogacz, Marcelo Morales, and Serge Ngoma.

¿Por qué apostar por el Toronto FC?

Nothing was expected from this Toronto FC team at the start of the season, and that’s exactly what they’re delivering: nothing. With just one point, five goals scored, and ten conceded, they sit at the bottom of their conference and rank 28th in the entire MLS.

They drew their first match against DC United (2-2) but then suffered consecutive losses to Orlando City (4-2), FC Cincinnati (2-0), and most recently, Chicago Fire (1-2). They are now on a 10-game winless streak in official competitions, including the Canadian Championship final against Vancouver Whitecaps, which they tied before losing on penalties. During this stretch, they have lost seven times.

In addition to the team’s poor performance and lack of competitiveness, Toronto FC is still working on parting ways with Lorenzo Insigne. However, his high salary ($15.4 million, the second highest in the league after Lionel Messi) has been a major obstacle, as negotiations with other MLS clubs and international teams have not been successful. His absence has also prevented the club from securing a marquee signing.

Despite this, some media outlets suggest there may be a path forward for Insigne. He continues to train, and although the management has stated that his playing style does not fit the club, the team’s poor results, his commitment, and the squad’s absences due to injuries and international duty could open the door for the former Napoli star.

This weekend, Toronto FC will be without their captain, Jonathan Osorio (Canada), as well as Deybi Flores (Honduras) and Tyrese Spicer (Trinidad & Tobago), who are with their National Teams. Additionally, their injury list includes Ola Brynhildsen, Richie Laryea, Henry Wingo, Sigurd Rosted, and Raoul Petretta.
