LA Galaxy vs. New York Red Bulls picks and predictions

Prediction

LA Galaxy 2, New York Red Bulls 0

Moneyline (ML)

BET LA GALAXY (-120).

The Galaxy have been on fire in the postseason and have consistently outperformed opponents at home. They have won 10 straight matches at home and have outscored opponents 12-2 at home in the playoffs. LA has impressively had at least double the expected goals of its opponent in 4 straight home games.

New York has won, but it has played 2 in a row on the road and has had fewer expected goals in both. Against NYCFC in the semifinals, it had just 1.0 expected goals while its opponent had 2.8. The Red Bulls didn’t perform well on the road in the regular season, scoring just 19 points in 17 matches.

Considering those trends, back LA GALAXY (-120).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 2.5 (+105).

The Galaxy returned to a realistic level in the conference finals, winning 1-0. They had just 0.8 expected goals and allowed 0.4 expected goals. Los Angeles has allowed 0.4 expected goals or fewer in 3 of its last 4 games.

New York, which has gone Under this total in 2 straight matches and in 3 of its last 4, has had 1.0 or fewer expected goals in 3 of 4 playoff games. The Red Bulls have 3 clean sheets in those games as well.

Both defenses have performed as of late. Play UNDER 2.5 (+105).

Orlando City SC vs. New York Red Bulls picks and predictions

Prediction

Orlando City SC 2, New York Red Bulls 1

Moneyline (ML)

BET ORLANDO CITY SC (-120).

Orlando City may have just beaten Atlanta 1-0 Nov. 24, but it dominated that battle, ending with 1.1 more expected goals and allowing its opponent just 0.3. City is 8-2-2 in its last 12 games and 6-1-1 at home in that span.

While New York advanced, it had an opposite showing. NYCFC had far more expected goals, as New York City ended with 2.8 and the Red Bulls finished with 1.0. It has had fewer expected goals in 3 straight games.

Expect the Red Bulls’ luck to run out, and back ORLANDO CITY SC (-120).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET OVER 2.5 (-125).

The Red Bulls have gone over this total in 7 of their last 9 games. New York has been on fire offensively, scoring at least once in every game since Aug. 31 and scoring twice in 3 of its last 4.

Orlando City has gone Over in 5 of its last 9 and finished all but 1 game with 1.4 expected goals or more. City has allowed 1.2 or more expected goals in 6 of its last 9.

Couple those trends, and back OVER 2.5 (-125).

Eastern Conference semifinal: NYCFC vs. New York Red Bulls odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s NYCFC vs. New York Red Bulls odds and lines, with expert MLS picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

NYCFC welcomes the New York Red Bulls to Citi Field Saturday for the MLS Eastern Conference Playoffs semifinal. Kickoff is set for 5:30 p.m. ET (Apple TV). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s soccer odds around the NYCFC vs. New York Red Bulls odds, and make our best MLS picks and predictions.

The Red Bulls closed out the regular season as the 7th seed in the East and were led by F Lewis Morgan, who netted 13 goals in 29 matches. They finished the season with a +5 goal differential, tallying 55 goals and allowing 50. New York is coming off a 2-2 home draw with the Columbus Crew Nov. 3; it won 5-4 on penalty kicks to advance. It beat the Crew 1-0 on the road in the game prior (Oct. 29).

NYCFC took down third-seeded FC Cincinnati, beating it 3-1 at home Nov. 3 and then following that up with a 0-0 road draw Nov. 9, eventually downing Cincinnati 6-5 on penalty kicks. It did lose 1-0 on the road in the first game of the series Oct. 28. NYCFC finished the regular season 6th in the East and with a +5 goal differential as well, having scored 54 and allowed 49.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4132″ ]

NYCFC vs. New York Red Bulls picks and predictions

Prediction

NYCFC 1, New York Red Bulls 0

Moneyline (ML)

BET NEW YORK CITY FC (+115).

The Red Bulls downed the Crew in the first round but managed fewer expected goals in both games and had fewer expected goals in 2 of their last 4 regular-season games. New York lost a combined 7-2 in its 2 games against NYCFC during the regular season and allowed at least 2 goals in 5 of its last 6 regular-season matches.

NYCFC came into the playoff on fire, having won 3 of its last 4. It went into one of the toughest environments in MLS and won. Despite having 0.9 fewer expected goals in that final game against FC Cincinnati, it ended with 1.2 more during its lone home match of the 3-game series. NYCFC has a more potent defense and has given up more than 1 goal in just 2 of its last 8 matches.

With that in mind, back NEW YORK CITY FC (+115).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 2.5 (-110).

Both teams know what is at stake, and the defenses should step up in this one. New York City has been held scoreless in 3 of its last 4 games and has had 1.5 or fewer expected goals in 4 of its last 6 battles.

The Red Bulls have scored 1 or fewer goals in 7 of their last 11 games. They have 1.0 or fewer expected goals in 2 of their last 4. New York’s issues this season have stemmed from its defense, but it gave up zero goals to Columbus on the road in the first round. Expect a similar effort.

Back UNDER 2.5 (-110).

Analyzing Saturday’s New York Red Bulls vs. FC Cincinnati odds and lines, with expert MLS picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

Below, we preview FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the New York Red Bulls vs. FC Cincinnati odds, and make our best expert MLS picks and predictions.

The Red Bulls, who sit 4th in the East, have won or drawn each of their 11 home games, winning 6 and drawing 5. In their 24 matches, they have tallied 39 goals while allowing 30.

New York Red Bulls vs. FC Cincinnati picks and predictions

Prediction

FC Cincinnati 2, New York Red Bulls 2

Moneyline (ML)

BET DRAW (+250).

FC Cincinnati has been virtually unbeatable on the road despite its entire backline being shredded by injuries. FCC has struggled over the last few weeks, but it still has won 9 of 11 on the road. It should be able to compete despite injuries woes.

For the Red Bulls, they have drawn 3 of their last 4 home games with 3 of their last 6 games ending in a 2-2 draw. The Red Bulls have drawn 4 straight games with 3 of those ending with 0.6 expected goals. They play to the level of their opponent, and that should be repeated Saturday.

Take DRAW (+250).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET OVER 2.5 (-122).

The Red Bulls have scored at least 2 goals in 4 of their last 6 games and topped this total in 4 of 6 as well. With both teams allowing at least 1.25 goals per game, offense should come with ease.

FC Cincinnati has gone north of this total in 6 of its last 8 games. It has scored 3 or more goals 4 times over that span, as well as 4 or more in 3 of those outings.

Both teams have scored well, but have been sloppy on defense. With FCC having a banged-up backline, except a plethora of goals to be scored. Take OVER 2.5 (-122).

Inter Miami CF (6 wins, 3 draws, 2 losses) welcomes the New York Red Bulls (4-5-1) to Chase Stadium Saturday. Kickoff in the high-profile Eastern Conference clash is set for 7:30 p.m. ET. Below, we preview FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Inter Miami CF vs. New York Red Bulls odds, and make our best expert MLS picks and predictions.

Inter Miami sits atop the Eastern Conference with 21 points, having tallied 11 at home and 10 on the road. Inter is3-2-1 at home and has scored 15 goals across those 6 games. Miami is led by superstar F Lionel Messi, who has tallied 9 goals in 7 matches and was recently named MLS Player of the Month for April.

The New York Red Bulls sit 3rd in the East with FC Cincinnati between the 2 sides. The Red Bulls do have a big-time 2-1 road win over FCC this season.

Inter Miami CF vs. New York Red Bulls picks and predictions

Prediction

Inter Miami CF 2, New York Red Bulls 1

Moneyline (ML)

BET INTER MIAMI (-140).

Inter Miami has been very strong at home, and has been even better with Messi in the lineup. When Messi is captain, Inter has won 5 of 6 and drew the lone game it didn’t win. Inter has had more expected goals than its opponent in 5 of those 6 games as well.

While the Red Bulls started off the season strong, they have relapsed lately and have drawn 3 straight games. The Red Bulls have had fewer expected goals in 3 of their 6 road games. With those trends in mind, back INTER MIAMI (-140).

Over/Under (O/U)

LEAN OVER 2.5 (-174).

In the last 4 games which Messi has captained, Inter has scored at least 3 goals. In each of those games, Miami has actually gone Over 4.5 goals. With the talent in Inter Miami’s attack, expect that to continue throughout the season.

However, the Red Bulls do have a strong defense, but they have even topped this total in 6 of 10 games. New York has scored at least 2 goals in 5 of 10, so it has a competent attack as well. In its last 6 road games, it has gone Over 2.5 goals in 4 of 6 games.

Take OVER 2.5 (-174) for a partial unit given the expensive value.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The New York Red Bulls (2 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss) welcome Inter Miami (3-1-1) to Red Bull Arena Saturday. Kickoff is set for 2 p.m. ET (Apple TV). Below, we preview FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the New York Red Bulls vs. Inter Miami odds, and make our best expert MLS picks and predictions.

Inter Miami got a much-needed midweek break, having played 4 games from March 7-16 with 2 matches in the CONCACAF Champions Cup. Inter is led by F Lionel Messi, who joined the club last season and is one of the most renowned players in the sport’s history. Messi has 3 goals in 3 MLS matches. Inter is 1-1-0 on the road and is coming off a 3-1 road win over D.C. United last Saturday.

The Red Bulls lost to the Columbus Crew 3-0 Saturday, their 1st loss of the season. New York won its lone home game, beating FC Dallas 2-1.

New York Red Bulls vs. Inter Miami picks and predictions

Prediction

Inter Miami 2, New York Red Bulls 1

Moneyline (ML)

SPRINKLE INTER MIAMI (+195).

Inter has been throttled teams as of late and should have all their top players rested and set to play, including former Barcelona star F Luis Suarez, who has netted 4 goals. Inter has scored 10 goals in their last 3 games, having 0.5 more expected goals in 4 of 5 games this season.

The Red Bulls sit in the bottom half of the league in save percentage and in the top half in fouls. Inter is going to be too technical to not take advantage of those.

Given the Red Bulls are coming off a brutal 3-0 loss and Inter is rested and should be in top shape, back the road side to come out on top for a small unit. Take INTER MIAMI (+195).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET OVER 2.5 (-110).

Both teams foul frequently. Inter sits atop the league in fouls while New York ranks 10th. New York and Miami both gets shots on the frame often too with New York ranking 9th (20) and Miami second (31).

Inter has gone Over this total in 3 straight games, scoring at least 2 in all 3 and scoring at least 3 in 2 of the 3. The Red Bulls have gone Over in 3 straight games, scoring 4 goals in those 3 while allowing 5.

Expect numerous goals in this one and back OVER 2.5 (-122).

FC Cincinnati welcomes the New York Red Bulls to TQL Stadium Sunday for Game 1 of a best-of-3 first-round playoff series. Kickoff is set for 8 p.m. ET (Apple TV).

FC Cincinnati won the Eastern Conference with 69 points. They were 20-9-5 (9 draws) on the season and ended with 57 goals for and 39 goals in the 34 league matches. Cincinnati is led by M Luciano Acosta with 17 goals and 10 assists in 32 matches. FCC lost 2-1 inn its lone home game against the Red Bulls on Oct. 4

FC Cincinnati vs. New York Red Bulls picks and predictions

Prediction

FC Cincinnati 2, New York Red Bulls 0

Moneyline (ML)

BET FC CINCINNATI (-120).

FC Cincinnati lost in their lone home game against the Red Bulls, but they were 13-2-2 at home this season. Their home strength was a pivotal reason for their league-high 69 points.

FCC should also have fresher legs, not having played Wednesday like the Red Bulls. Despite losing at home on Oct. 4 to New York, Cincinnati had more expected goals in that match. FCC is the better, more talented side and should win.

Take FC CINCINNATI (-120).

Over/Under (O/U)

LEAN UNDER 2.5 (-105).

The Red Bulls haven’t been a score-heavy side this season. They average 1.06 goals per game and allowing 1.15 per game. While both matches during the season ended 2-1, neither team has more than 1.3 expected goals in either matchup.

To continue, the Red Bulls may have scored 5 on Charlotte but had just 5 expected goals. Against an elite goalie and a better backline, that efficiency is very unlikely to repeat itself.

Given the high intensity of the game and the Red Bulls lacking pace, take UNDER 2.5 (-105).

FC Cincinnati vs. New York Red Bulls picks and predictions

Prediction

FC Cincinnati 2, New York Red Bulls 0

Moneyline (ML)

BET FC CINCINNATI (-120).

FC Cincinnati is chasing more than just history with its first Supporters’ Shield for most points in the league. It should want to continue to showcase its dominance at home and continue to be among the all-time great regular season teams. FCC is 13-1-1 at home and taking on a side that has struggled recently and on the road.

New York has struggled immensely to score, averaging just 0.97 goals per game. FCC has a strong defense and could easily hold the Red Bulls scoreless. New York’s season has been difficult to watch without much offensive production and a middle-of-the-pack defense.

Although Cincinnati doesn’t have much to play for. it will have a packed house and should still win. Take FC CINCINNATI (-120).

Over/Under (O/U)

LEAN UNDER 2.5 (-105).

New York has gone Under this total in 3 of its last 4 games and in 6 of its last 8. It has been held without a goal in 3 of its last 6 as well and has scored multiple goals just once since July 9. The Red Bulls have a competent defense and a lacking offense.

FCC has gone Under this total in 2 of its last 5 matches, but having the conference locked up could allow them to play at a slower pace and conserve their legs down the stretch.

Nonetheless, the Red Bulls offense has been weak enough and they have a strong enough defense to back fewer goals here. Take UNDER 2.5 (-105).

New York Red Bulls vs. Inter Miami picks and predictions

Prediction

New York Red Bulls 2, Inter Miami 1

Moneyline (ML)

NEW YORK RED BULLS (+135) are catching a break with Messi doubtful to suit up. Before the Argentine’s arrival, Inter Miami (+170) was “messy”. This team was erratic, rarely won, and it was not a team you’d want to bet on.

The Red Bulls won 1-0 at DRV PNK Stadium in South Florida in the most recent meeting on May 31.

Over/Under (O/U)

The OVER 2.5 (-155) is the play, although it will cost you.

The Red Bulls have scored in 7 straight matches, although they’re averaging just 1.0 goals per game (GPG) in the past 3 outings. Still, New York has seen 3 or more total goals in 7 of its past 8 matches.

Inter Miami has seen 3 or more total goals in 6 of the past 7 matches dating back to their May 31 meetings with the Red Bulls.

New York Red Bulls vs. Columbus Crew odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s New York Red Bulls vs. Columbus Crew odds and lines, with expert MLS picks, predictions and best bets.

The New York Red Bulls (0 wins, 2 draws, 1 loss) welcome the Columbus Crew (1-1-1) on Saturday. Kick from Red Bull Arena is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET. Below, we preview Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the New York Red Bulls vs. Columbus Crew odds, and make our best expert MLS picks and predictions.

Columbus tied 1-1 on the road against Toronto FC last week, tying the game up in the first minute out of halftime and holding the home team from there. The Crew had 17 shots with only 4 on target while Toronto had 7 shots with 3 on target. Columbus is 0-1-1 on the road this season.

New York drew Minnesota on the road last week with a 1-1 final thanks to a 94th-minute equalizer. With 3 yellow cards in the game, the Red Bulls will look to clean up their play this week. They have now tied in back-to-back games including their lone home game.

New York Red Bulls vs. Columbus Crew picks and predictions

Prediction

New York Red Bulls 1, Columbus Crew 1

Moneyline (ML)

BET DRAW +255.

New York has drawn in back-to-back games including its last home game. Columbus is also coming off a draw. While the Crew have had a better offensive showing thus far in the season, the Red Bulls have played stellar defense, allowing just 0.7 goals per game (8th).

In a tough away environment, Columbus will seemingly struggle to generate as much offense as it usually does which will result in a draw.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 2.5 (-140).

The Red Bulls have scored just 1 goal in 3 matches this season. Last week, their offense stalled with no shots in the entire match. They have also allowed just 1 shot on goal all season. Playing at home, they will hope to slow the Crew and look to minimalize their opportunities, but until the Red Bulls show their offensive power, do not expect a high amount of goals.
