New York Red Bulls vs FC Cincinnati Prediction & Betting Tips (21 July)

The New York Red Bulls are aiming for the playoffs while hoping for a podium at the end of the regular season. Currently, Thierry Henry's former team occupies fourth place in the championship before this match, with a record of only one victory in the last five meetings. Despite a series of six games without defeat, they struggle to be prolific. After a victory against Toronto FC 3-0, they had four consecutive draws against DC United 2-2, Philadelphia 0-0, and the Colorado Rapids 1-1. In their last match against Montreal, the New York Red Bulls conceded another draw with a score of 2-2.

Leader of the Eastern Conference ahead of Inter Miami, Cincinnati suffered a disappointment against Charlotte, losing 1- 3. Now second behind Inter Miami, the team is going through a difficult period after having had three consecutive victories. After the loss to Charlotte, Cincinnati lost at home again, this time to Chicago, by a score of 0-1. With these two consecutive defeats, the future opponent of New York RB is now two points behind the championship leader.

Suspended during the last meeting for accumulation of yellow cards, the starting central defender Eile will return to the field. On the other hand, his teammate in defense, Sean Nealis, will miss the match due to his expulsion during the last match. The Swede Forsberg (ex-RB Leipzig) is still injured and must give up his place. Mitchell, Ngoma, and Peter Stoud, also injured for a long time, remain in the infirmary. In addition, defender Tolkin is in the national team. Scottish international Lewis Morgan recently scored his 10th goal of the season. The Brazilians Manoel and Harper, with five goals each, also had a very good season. During the last match against Montreal, young midfielder Carmona found the net at the start of the match.

Opposite, Miles Robinson, suspended during the match against Charlotte, should logically make his return to the team. However, two players were sent off in the visitors' latest defeat: Noonan and Powell. In addition, defender Miazga is injured, as are Nick Hagglund, backup goalkeeper Kann and Malik Pinto (rotation). There is, however, good news: starting midfielder Nwobodo, author of 2 assists in MLS, returns from suspension. In attack, Luciano Acosta scored 11 goals and provided 18 assists in 23 games. Kubo, with 9 goals, and Orellano, with 5 goals and 6 assists, also play a crucial role in the team.
