Both the New York Red Bulls and FC Cincinnati have been involved in high scoring contests over the last few weeks, so we could be set for an absolute shootout when the two teams go head to head at the Sports Illustrated Stadium on Saturday evening. 

The Red Bulls were trounced 6-1 in Charlotte last weekend, a result that means they have now picked up just one point in their last three games, conceding an eyewatering ten goals in the process. Red Bulls boss Michael Bradley will be keen for his side to arrest their defensive slump, whilst also getting the likes of Julian Hall and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting firing in attack. 

Cincinnati have also been struggling defensively of late, but on the flip side, last week's dramatic 4-3 victory over Montreal demonstrated that their frontline is currently in excellent form. If they can tighten up at the back, this Cincy squad looks more than capable of making a deep playoff run this season.

Our New York Red Bulls vs FC Cincinnati Prediction

These are two teams that are very difficult to trust at the moment. Both Cincy and the Red Bulls are struggling mightily in defence, whilst also being highly erratic in terms of their attacking output. 

But whilst this means we are steering clear of any moneyline predictions, we do think this is a game that is guaranteed to produce plenty of goals. 

There's definitely value in taking the 4.90 on the game featuring at least five goals, but the safer bet is to back the 'over 3.5 goals' at 2.83. 

Our prediction for New York Red Bulls vs FC Cincinnati is: Over 3.5 goals. 

Prediction:

 

Over 3.5 goals
