Bovada have the following odds available for this match:
The Red Bulls are at -110 to win, a draw is at +275, and an NYCFC win is at +275.
The Red Bulls are favored here for a couple of reasons. The first of which is the fact that they are at home, but the most important factor is their superiority in the head to head battle. Because of this, they are favored despite being lower in the table than their in-city rivals.
The Red Bulls get yet another win over New York City FC, and they will be just one point off.
Jesse Marsch will be without center back Gideon Baah due to a broken tibia.
Bradley Wright-Phillips has been one of the league's most fearsome scorers since his debut in 2013. The former Charlton man has been a perfect signing for the club, and he has started to pick up his play of late with two goals in his last match. That's eight goals on the season now for the Englishman, and that could just him the confidence to vault closer to another Golden Boot award at season's end.
The Red Bulls have three wins, a loss, and a draw in their last five matches. They drew 1-1 at home against Toronto FC before they won 2-1 there over New England Revolution. They then lost 1-0 away to Montreal before getting a 1-0 win over NYCFC in the US Open Cup last week. Last weekend, they won 0-2 away to Philadelphia Union.
Goalkeeper:Robles
Defenders:Murillo, Perrinelle, Collin, Long
Midfielders:Martins, Adams, Kljestan
Forwards:Royer, Muyl, Wright-Phillips
Patrick Vieira will be missing left winger Khiry Shelton due to a muscular injury.
Another man that got two big goals last weekend was David Villa. Is it even a question any longer about who the best DP in league history is? It shouldn't be at this point, as the Spaniard has been exceptional at all stages. But to get a win over the Red Bulls is the next goal that he needs to help them achieve. He has 10 goals already, putting him in a battle for the Golden Boot award. Will he win this shootout with Wright-Phillips or will he once again be on the losing end?
NYCFC have two wins, two losses, and a draw in their last five matches. They lost 3-1 away to Atlanta United before drawing 2-2 at home to New England. A 2-1 win over Philadelphia then came before they lost 1-0 to the Red Bulls in the US Open Cup. Last time out, they got a 2-1 win over Seattle Sounders.
