After some incredibly high-scoring stuff in the week, Cincinnati and the New York Red Bulls will clash at TQL Stadium on Saturday evening, when both teams will be looking to continue scaling the offensive heights having both hammered in four goals last time out. Somewhat strangely, both teams also conceded four goals during the week, so it's probably fair to say that the hosts and the visitors will be looking for a little more defensive security, though they may not find it. 

In truth, it would be a surprise if either team kept it tight here, so both teams should fancy themselves to make offensive headway. One player who can definitely thrive in what is expected to be an open game is Emile Forsberg, who continues to get himself into lots of promising shooting positions, especially on the road.

Our FC Cincinnati vs New York Red Bulls Prediction

In 2026, with the youthfully exuberant Julian Hall up top, Emile Forsberg hasn't had to shoulder so much of the scoring burden, but don't be fooled into thinking that the hugely experienced Swede cannot still hurt teams. In recent games, we've seen Forsberg drift into some hugely threatening offensive positions, so much so that he's a little unlucky to only have one goal to his name this season. 

As NYRB's second-most prolific shooter, against a very open Cincinnati team, the man who scored 11 goals last season, looks a little generously priced to notch.
