Bitesize Prediction: New York Red Bulls vs Toronto FC – 23/06/24

Competition: MLS

Market: New York Red Bulls win

Odds: 4/6 @ 1xBet

Looking to make a welcomed return to winning ways in the early hours of Sunday, New York will welcome Toronto to the Red Bull Arena this weekend.

Starting with the hosts, while New York might have failed to collect a win from any of their previous three MLS appearances, the Red Bulls have continued to shine since opening up the 2024 campaign. Battling it out at the top of the Eastern Conference standings and cruising their way to another play-off ticket, Sandro Schwarz’s men have suffered just a single defeat across any competition since the start of May. Rightfully pencilled in as a standout contender this weekend, the former Hertha Berlin boss will certainly be excited to make a return to home soil here. Signing off May with a thumping 3-1 victory against Charlotte, New York have registered 10 points from just their previous four MLS showdowns in front of their own supporters. Likewise, including an action-packed 4-2 win against New England last month, it should be noted that Schawrtz’s side have not suffered a single defeat at the Red Bull Arena since opening up the 2024 campaign.

As for the visitors, coming under a huge amount of scrutiny last season as they finished rock-bottom of the Eastern Conference table, Toronto are once again at the heart of another MLS nightmare. Last seen putting in another worrying performance as they fell to a 2-1 defeat at home against Nashville, John Herdman’s men appear to have a real battle on their hands to claim a play-off ticket this year. Really crashing back down to earth following their April boost, the Reds have collected just a single victory from any of their previous eight MLS appearances. With their recent issues underlined by a 4-1 drumming at the hands of Chicago earlier in the month, Toronto have also collected just a sole top-flight win on their travels since way back on March 3rd. Likewise, it should also be noted, along with suffering a 3-0 defeat when they travelled to New York last season, Sunday’s guests have lost all of their previous six straight trips to the Red Bull Arena.
