One of Saturday's Major League Soccer fixtures sees the New York Red Bulls host San Diego FC. Both teams will be trying to improve at Red Bull Arena, where the hosts go in search of a first win in five home games. The team on the road has managed to win just two away games in the league this season, winning none of the last four.
At early odds of -125, betting on a relative lack of goals in the form of 'Under 3.5 Goals' appeals. In recent weeks, the hosts haven't exactly stepped on the gas offensively, scoring only two goals in their last five games, but they've haven't been overly poor at the back, conceding only five goals in those five games, keeping three clean sheets, so a relative lack of goals really is far from out of the question at Red Bull Arena.

Our New York Red Bulls vs San Diego FC Prediction
A quick glance at the early betting market and you'd think that a relatively high-scoring game was guaranteed at Red Bull Arena on Saturday, but much of the evidence actually points towards a relative lack of goals. At the very least, a fairly low-scoring game seems more likely than the early market believes. As the stats above suggest, the hosts have played out their fair share of low-scoring encounters of late, while neither side has scored an abundance of goals in their respective home and away games.
Our New York Red Bulls vs San Diego Pick: Under 3.5 Goals.
