New York Red Bulls vs Montréal Preview and Team News

New York Red Bulls Team News

NY Red Bulls have had an average start to their MLS season. In the opening 9 rounds of fixtures, they have 3 wins, 3 draws, and 3 defeats. They have hauled 12 points and sit 9th in the Eastern Conference.

In this run of matches, they have scored 10 goals and conceded 9 in the process. Although the defensive side of their game has been okay, they have not scored enough goals to perform better and climb higher on the table.

Last time out in the MLS, NY Red Bulls lost 1-2 away to DC United following the 0-0 draw against ten-man Orlando City. 

Sandro Schwarz and his men will look to return to winning ways in the clash against Montréal on Saturday. NY Red Bulls will have a slight edge ahead of this match, given their general start and current performance levels.

However, these odds will be impacted by the extensive injury list, including Roald Mitchell, Kyle Duncan, Lewis Morgan, Raheem Edwards, Daniel Edelman, and Marcelo Morales.

New York Red Bulls predicted lineup vs Montréal (4-2-3-1): Coronel; Nealis, Parker, Hack, Valencia; Carballo, Stroud; Gjengaar, Forsberg, Harper; Choupo-Moting.

Montréal Team News

Winless after 9 rounds of fixtures of the MLS, Montréal have extended their poor start to the season. They have managed just 3 points with 3 draws and 6 defeats so far this season.

Interim manager Marco Donadel has not managed to turn things around for Montréal; they have scored just 4 goals in 9 matches and conceded 13 times. Their attack is the worst in the division so far, whereas their defense has not held up well so far. This combination has been devastating to have them mired at the bottom of the Eastern Conference.

This poor form means that Montréal have had consistent trends, making it a safe bet to go against them in matches. They will also be without Jules-Anthony Vilsaint, with the center-forward sidelined with an unknown injury. 

Last time out, Montréal managed a 0-0 draw against ten-man Orlando City, and they will look to build on this when they travel to face NY Red Bulls.

Montréal predicted lineup vs New York Red Bulls (4-2-3-1): Sirois; Buhaj, Campbell, Waterman, Petrasso; Piette, Saliba; Sunchuk, Duke, Sealy; Owusu.

New York Red Bulls vs Montréal Prediction 

  • Pick: NY Red Bulls to win
  • Odds: -141 (20Bet)
  • Score prediction: New York Red Bulls 2-0 Montréal

This will be a closely contested match on Saturday. My analysis of these two sides shows that they are both struggling to varying degrees. However, Montréal are having more trouble this season, with scant attacking threat and a porous defense. 

Playing at the Red Bull Arena gives NY Red Bulls a slight edge; they have traditionally been better at home. In contrast, Montréal have been especially poor away from home.

NY Red Bulls have also been defensively solid, conceding just 9 goals in just 9 matches. Their ability to control possession and dictate play against weaker sides will be crucial in this match. Coming up against Montréal’s poor attack, the Red Bulls are the best pick to grab a tight win in this match.

New York Red Bulls vs Montréal Prediction, Betting Tip

  • Pick: NY Red Bulls Win to Nil – yes
  • Odds: +194 (20Bet)

Montréal has the poorest attack in the Eastern Conference, scoring just 4 times in 9 outings. This dearth of attacking threat will be a boon to NY Red Bulls, who have a fairly good defensive record in the MLS this season with just 9 goals conceded in 9 matches.

My tip in this match is that the NY Red Bulls are likely to keep a clean sheet at the Red Bull Arena, given their defensive solidity and Montréal’s poor attack. This bolsters the chances of the home sides winning “to nil.”
