Our forecast for this MLS game:

New York Red Bulls

New York Red Bulls

Cincinnati

Cincinnati

The New York Red Bulls will attempt to even the series against Cincinnati as they meet at Red Bull Arena on Saturday night. The team is focused on bouncing back from their 3-0 defeat at TQL Stadium and will need to give their all against the Orange and Blue. Unfortunately, Cory Burke, Hassan Ndam, Dante Vanzeir, and Lewis Morgan are all out with injuries, but Harper and Nealis are both vying for a spot in the starting lineup.

On the contrary, Cincinnati had an impressive victory in their home game, but their upcoming game at Red Bull Arena will be a bigger challenge. The Metros have easily defeated Toronto and Charlotte in their last two home games, leading us to believe that the visitors will leave empty-handed. The away team will also be missing key players Nick Hagglund, Santiago Arias, London Aghedo, and Stiven Jimenez due to injuries.

The game is scheduled for May 11, 2023 at 12:00 AM.

Prediction:
2-1

Player in focus (Luciano Acosta):

Luciano Acosta

Luciano Acosta is a skilled soccer player known for his position as an attacking midfielder on the team DC United. He was born on May 31, 1994 in Buenos Aires, Argentina and began his professional career with his local team, Boca Juniors. Acosta, who stands at 160 cm, scored 2 goals in 25 games for the well-known Argentine club before joining Estudiantes on loan in 2016.

In 2017, he transferred to DC United and has remained a member of the MLS club. Throughout the 2018 season, Luciano Acosta’s performance was outstanding, with the Argentine player scoring 10 goals and assisting his teammates with 15. Despite his impressive showing in the MLS campaign, he has not been chosen to represent the Argentina national football team.

Acosta primarily plays the role of an attacking midfielder, but he also has the ability to function as a second striker or centre forward. His current contract with DC United is set to end on December 31, 2019, and his preferred foot for playing is his right.

The featured team (New York Red Bulls):

New York Red Bulls

The Red Bulls, a team from New York City, were the first to join Major League Soccer. In 2006, the club was purchased by Red Bull GmbH, earning them the nickname “Red Bulls.” Their home games are held at Red Bull Arena, and their team colors are white and red.

However, when playing away games, the Red Bulls typically wear dark blue shirts and yellow shorts. In 2008, the New York Red Bulls reached the MLS Cup final, but were unable to defeat the Columbus Crew (1-3) in the Home Depot Center. The team has had many talented players in the past, but former Arsenal player Thierry Henry is often associated with the club.

During his time with the New York Red Bulls from 2010 to 2014, Henry scored a total of 51 goals in 122 league games. It is important to mention that on March 31, 2012, he achieved his first MLS hat-trick in a 5-2 win against Montreal Impact. Notably, other renowned players such as Youri Djorkaeff, Lothar Matthaus, Roberto Donadoni, Rafael Marquez, Juninho and Tim Cahill have also played for the club in the past.
