NY Red Bulls
π New York are a team that thrives at home. Their away performances don't always hit the mark. They've collected 22 points at home compared to just 11 on the road, which clearly shows the disparity. In their last MLS match, they couldn't secure a win against Toronto, despite a fairly even contest. The Bulls failed to hold onto their lead and didn't really deserve the victory either, as they created too few dangerous chances.
β½οΈ Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting remains the team's top scorer with 10 goals. However, he is also the club's biggest loss as the forward is injured. The rest of the sidelined players are mainly from the rotation squad.

New York undoubtedly excels at home, but they're up against a top-tier team with excellent balance. Minnesota aren't fazed by location or their opponent's stats. The club is in far better form and deserves points. Our pick - Minnesota United will not lose.
