On Sunday evening, it's back down to it in Major League Soccer for a New York Red Bulls team that played in the Leagues Cup as recently as Thursday evening. Having got the job done against Juarez thanks to a shootout victory, the Red Bulls will be hoping to kick on in the league, which is what they need to do, let's face it. Before the pause in domestic action, Sandro Schwarz's men lost two league games on the spin, losing three of their last four also. They've now won just one of their last eight MLS games, which just won't do.
The visitors go into Sunday's fixture off the back of a nice win during the week, a win that came complete with a clean sheet, which should have boosted the confidence of Pablo Mastroeni's men. They also won their last MLS game, again keeping a clean sheet, while they've won four of their last five in the league too. Such a run should mean that we see a confident road team in New Jersey.

Our New York Red Bulls vs Real Salt Lake Prediction
I must be honest here, the market doesn't quite seem to have this one right. Diogo Goncalves is RSL' most prolific shooter, even more so than top scorer Diego Luna, and he's no stranger to working opposing goalies away from home, shooting lots in his recent away games, registering en eye-catching five shots on target in his last two road fixtures, scoring in one of those. The Portuguese forward will almost definitely take shots at Red Bull Arena, so do not be surprised if he works the keeper at least once. I'm betting on him to do exactly that at odds that simply don't reflect his threat level accurately enough. Our New York Red Bulls vs Real Salt Lake Pick: Diogo Goncalves 1+ Shots on Target.
