Match Prediction-NL W vs NAM W, 4th T20I, Betting Tips and Match Prediction
When the Red Bulls are on their game, they look like a top-tier side who can contend for the title, filled with strength and quality at every position. Second-half deficits do not seem to faze this team, picking up nine points when trailing in the final 45 minutes this year, including on Thursday when they scored two goals in six minutes after Josef Martinez had given Atlanta United the lead with 15 minutes remaining.
New York are a team with strength in numbers as several individuals have wowed us with their skill and creativity, and their scoring depth is evident, as nine different players have tallied at least once domestically this year, while nine individuals have also set up at least one goal. Their trophy case may feel empty for a side that have won the Supporters’ Shield three times and have made the playoffs on 12 successive occasions, though you would not bet against them coming away with some silverware in 2022, as they are in the semi-finals of the U.S. Open Cup and are currently in a dogfight for first in their Conference.

Things may look bleak when you look at where they sit in the table, seven points back of a playoff spot, but there is potential for them to make up some ground, as nine of their following 15 MLS affairs will be at home, where KC have claimed 11 of their 16 points this year. Conceding the second-most goals (32) in the league will not help you climb up the standings, but Vermes’ team have put together their best defensive displays in front of their home fans, posting their only two clean sheets in this MLS campaign at Children’s Mercy Park.
They should be able to take some confidence from how well they have played at the U.S. Open Cup, advancing to the semi-finals of that competition thanks to an emphatic 6-0 triumph at home to Union Omaha. At that tournament, Kansas City have shown more creativity and quality in the attacking third, scoring 12 goals in three games, and the hope is that that kind of precision can translate into more tallies domestically, where they have scored the second-fewest goals (16) so far.

Even though the gap between these sides is currently 13 points, we believe this will be a close encounter between a New York squad who are struggling to find that quality away from home and a KC team that cannot seem to catch a break domestically.
Psychologically New York have a decided edge, and we expect their depth will eventually be able to end their road drought against a side that provide you with plenty of scoring opportunities. The New York Red Bulls have exceeded expectations this season and will look to sustain their momentum this weekend. They also have an impressive squad at their disposal. Sporting Kansas City can pack a punch on their day but have endured a difficult campaign so far. The New York Red Bulls are the better team at the moment and should be able to win the game.
Sporting Kansas City 0-1 New York Red Bulls, as predicted by us.
