New York Red Bulls vs Columbus Crew Prediction & Betting Tips | 19/10/2024 | Football

Posted on by Matthew Reynolds

Our prediction for this MLS match:

New York Red Bulls

New York Red Bulls

Columbus Crew

Columbus Crew

New York Red Bulls will look to recover from a 2-1 loss to Atlanta United when they take on Columbus Crew on Saturday evening. The Metros have already booked their spot in the playoffs, but they still have a chance to overtake Charlotte in 6th place in the standings. Defender Dylan Nealis is banned for the last game of the regular season, while all Carmona, Duncan, and Mitchell remain in the treatment room.

The Crew, on the other hand, have already clinched second place in the table. As New York Red Bulls want this win more than Columbus Crew, we predict that the visitors are going to return home with their hands empty. The likes of Bush, Habroune, Moreira, and Zawadzki remain on the sidelines with injuries for the visiting side. In their last encounter at Red Bull Arena the Metros defeated the Crew 2-1.

Prediction:
2-1

Highlighted Team (New York Red Bulls):

New York Red Bulls

New York Red Bulls is the first club from New York City to join Major League Soccer. In 2006 the club was sold to Red Bull GmbH and, as a result, they are nicknamed the Red Bulls. New York welcome their rivals at Red Bull Arena and the team’s home colors are white and red.

On the other hand, the Red Bulls wear dark blue shirts and yellow shorts on the road. In 2008 New York Red Bulls made it to the MLS Cup final, but they were not capable of matching Columbus Crew (1-3) in the Home Depot Center clash. A number of top-class footballers were part of the team in the past, but former Arsenal forward Thierry Henry is the synonym of the club.

Henry scored 51 goals in 122 league games for New York Red Bulls from 2010 to 2014 and it has to be noted that he scored his first MLS hat-trick in a 5-2 victory over Montreal Impact on March 31, 2012. The likes of Youri Djorkaeff, Lothar Matthaus, Roberto Donadoni, Rafael Marquez, Juninho and Tim Cahill played for the club in the past as well.
