FC Cincinnati finished third in the Eastern Conference last regular season; they have a chance to improve on that record by finishing second in 2024. The Blue and Orange have had an excellent season, especially on the road, in which they have already recorded an impressive 10 away wins, although they have been insufficient to take first place due, in part, to the excellent campaign of the Philadelphia Union.

For their part, the NY Red Bulls lost 2-3 at Red Bull Arena in the New York derby. The Bulls started losing in that key game as early as the second minute; then Hall equalized momentarily, only for the Pigeons to take the lead again three minutes later with a goal from Perea. Forsberg tied the score again early in the second half, scoring his third goal in the last three matches. However, Thiago Martins, for the visitors, scored the decisive goal. It was a very frustrating loss for the NY Red Bulls.

Although Cincinnati's 1-1 home draw against Orlando City is a success, their chances of winning the Supporters' Shield are slim. Lukas Engel dismissed those who say they won't play hard against the NY Red Bulls because Cincinnati doesn't have much at stake; he said his team will still go out to win.

New York Red Bulls - FC Cincinnati Key Points

  3. Cincinnati's goal differential this season is +8

Our New York Red Bulls vs FC Cincinnati Prediction

Cincinnati's Brazilian midfielder, Evander, is undoubtedly at the peak of his career; he registered an impressive three assists in Cincinnati's last 3-2 away win against the LA Galaxy. With this, Evander is the only one of the five MLS scorers who is a midfielder and not a forward; he has also assisted 14 times already this year.

For the New York Red Bulls, this is a decisive match for their playoff chances, to at least secure a spot in the play-in this season. Therefore, they need more than ever a resolute performance from two of their most experienced players, Forsberg and Choupo-Moting. Fortunately for the New York team, both were involved in goals in the matches against Montreal and New York City.

Our prediction for New York Red Bulls vs FC Cincinnati is: Over 2.5 goals.
