NY Red Bulls Team Overview
New York Red Bulls' most recent MLS match 14 October 2026 ended in a 1-2 away defeat to DC United. The Red Bulls had 24 shots to their opponents' four and held 75% possession, yet found themselves 0-2 down at half-time.
New York Red Bulls have won two of their last five matches, losing the other three. Across their last ten games, they have won three, drawn two and lost five, scoring just 0.9 goals per game against a season average of 1.34.

Match Results: Toronto
Match Result Prediction
New York Red Bulls have gone 16 consecutive home head-to-head matches without losing to Toronto, a trend that has been remarkably consistent in this fixture. On top of that, New York Red Bulls won eight consecutive home head-to-head matches against Toronto. Given that historical record, a bet on the home side not to lose looks logical in the context of this rivalry. The odds for that option are 1.33*.
Total Goals Prediction
In 14 consecutive home matches involving New York Red Bulls, Total Goals - Under 3.5 has consistently landed, confirming a trend towards low scoring in their head-to-head meetings. On top of that, in 9 of their last 10 league matches, Total Goals - Under 4.5 has also come in, adding to the picture of cautious scoring. The odds on Total Goals - Under 3.5 are 1.73*.
Corners Prediction
In 6 of their last 7 home head-to-head meetings with Toronto, New York Red Bulls have taken more than 5.5 corners, pointing to a consistent trend in this area. This selection is backed by a long and recent run, making a bet on New York Red Bulls Team Total Corners - Over 5.5 well justified. The odds are 1.66*.
The Risky Bet
New York Red Bulls have a strong record in home head-to-head matches against Toronto, winning eight in a row. However, their average of 1.57 goals scored and 1.93 conceded at home this season creates some uncertainty around a two-goal winning margin. That said, the hosts' impressive head-to-head run makes New York Red Bulls Handicap (-1) an interesting option at 2.68*.
Reliable Bet
In 9 of New York Red Bulls' last 10 matches, the total has gone under 4.5 goals, reflecting a consistent low-scoring trend for the team this season. This makes Total Goals - Under 4.5 the most reliable of the available options. The odds are 1.30*.
Correct Score Prediction
According to the algorithm's calculations, the most likely scorelines in this match are 1-1 (10.08%), 2-1 (9.29%) and 1-0 (7.25%). All three outcomes reflect a tendency towards a fairly competitive and not particularly high-scoring game between New York Red Bulls and Toronto. Of the three, a 1-1 draw is the most probable, though the difference in probabilities is not significant.

⭐ Editor's Prediction
Both sides are fighting for key positions ahead of the final stretch of the regular season: New York Red Bulls are defending their place in the top eight, while Toronto need to take risks to break into it over the coming rounds. The hosts' statistics give little reason to expect a high-scoring game: nine of their last ten matches ended with a team total of under 1.5 goals scored, even accounting for home trends against last season's MLS opponents - a reflection of the current state of New York's attack and the quality of the visitors' defence in many recent league matches. The main prediction is Total Goals - Under 3.5.
