NEW YORK RED BULLS v NEW ENGLAND REVOLUTION
Saturday 21st July 2018 – Kickoff; 1900hrs
Football – USA – MLS Betting Tips
New York Red Bulls will be looking to register a fifth win from six matches when they play host to New England Revolution in an Eastern Conference showdown at the Red Bull Arena in New Jersey, as the hosts look to keep the pressure on the top two clubs in the Conference.
Atlanta United hold a six point lead over third placed Red Bulls, but tonight’s hosts are five points adrift of neighbours, New York City, and they’ll be keen to whittle this down to just two points this evening. New York Red Bulls possess an impressive home record of 7-1-1 23/6 ahead of this evening’s fixture.
With four wins from their last five on home turf which include victories against New York City, Seattle Sounders, Dallas and Sporting Kansas, along with forward Wright-Phillips (12 goals) in form, the home side should bring home the points here.
New England Revolution will no doubt be keen to avoid a third consecutive defeat in the MLS this Saturday when they travel to New York following recent back-to-back defeats to LA Galaxy and Minnesota United.
The visitors still remain in the top six and are still candidates to progress to the Finals Series play-offs, but they’ll need to improve their fortunes away from home as they’ve achieved just one win on their travels all season to date.
An overall away record of 1-4-3 13/16 includes just the one win which was a 2-0 win at Houston Dynamo back in early April, but since then, New England have slumped to six matches without a win on the road.
In addition, The Revolution have kept just one clean sheet from a staggering 29 away matches, and this could be number 30 here today.
