Why NY Red Bulls Can Beat FC Cincinnati
The New York Red Bulls currently occupy the 10th position in the league standings. New York continues to experience inconsistency over the past year.
Previously, the Red Bulls managed to secure a narrow victory over the New England Revolution. The Red Bulls caused a major upset on July 9th when they defeated the Revs, denying them any points. Employing an experimental 4-2-2-2 formation, the New York Red Bulls unleashed a total of 22 shots on target. Those proved to be enough for a 2-1 triumph.

Recently, RBNY has displayed impressive performances on their home ground. This marks the third meeting in the last four matches where the Red Bulls have avoided defeat. In those matches, they obtained two wins and a draw. They faced Cincinnati in one of these encounters and were eliminated after a penalty shootout. Out of the ten games, the Red Bulls secured four wins, suffered four losses, and had two draws.
Furthermore, this victory extended their streak of five consecutive matches with at least three goals scored. A similar trend can be observed at the Red Bull Arena, with five out of the last six events witnessing three or more goals. In their 11 home appearances, the New York Red Bulls have accumulated five wins, four draws, and two defeats, scoring 15 goals while conceding 11. The New York Red Bulls have a favorable recent record against FC Cincinnati, having emerged victorious in five out of the last 12 matches between the two teams, while FC Cincinnati has secured three wins.
Wikelman Carmona, who played a decisive role in the victory over the Revs, is pushing for a spot in the starting lineup. However, Dylan Nealis, Lewis Morgan, Steven Sserwadda, and Serge Ngoma are still in the recovery room and will not be available.
Frankie Amaya is looking to add to his three-goal tally. The same goes for Andres Reyes, Omir Fernandez, Dnte Vanzeir, and Cory Burke.
Why FC Cincinnati Can Beat NY Red Bulls
FC Cincinnati currently holds the top spot in the MLS Eastern Conference standings and has showcased impressive form throughout the season. While FC Cincinnati had an impressive run of 13 wins in 21 games, they have recently experienced a dip in form, failing to secure a victory in their last three matches.
In their recent game against Charlotte FC, the away side was held to a 2-2 draw, and they will need to elevate their performance in the upcoming match. In that match, Karol Swiderski's impressive brace led Charlotte to secure a crucial point against the title contenders. This draw came after suffering a 3-0 defeat to DC United and a 2-2 draw versus the Revolution at home.
Nonetheless, Pat Noonan's team will work on their goal-scoring to convert their chances once again. Currently going through a slump, FC Cincinnati must rediscover their early-season momentum. The team has conceded multiple goals in their last three matches and is currently experiencing a winless streak of more than one game for the first time this season in the MLS. Despite this, they possess the potential to pose a threat when in form and have a talented squad at their disposal.
In six of their previous ten away games, there have been three or more goals scored, with both teams finding the back of the net on seven occasions. These statistics suggest that Cincinnati's matches tend to produce a significant number of goals. Their away record in the MLS has been less than stellar, accumulating 14 points from 10 outings, with three wins, five draws, and two losses. However, they have conceded more goals (16) than they have scored (13) in away matches.
FC Cincinnati will be without Brandon Vazquez and Matt Miazga, who are participating in the Gold Cup with the US team. Ian Murphy serves his suspension due to a red card received against Charlotte. In addition, Dominique Badji, Gerardo Valenzuela, and Brenner are likely to miss out due to injuries. Luciano Acosta anticipates adding to his tally of 10 goals and five assists.
