FC Cincinnati vs NY Red Bulls Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

New York Red Bulls won their last league outing against FC Cincinnati.

FC Cincinnati are all set to lock horns with the New York Red Bulls in the MLS 2025 season’s Eastern Conference fixture. The hosts finished in the third spot last season after securing 59 points on the board. This came after their decent show of performances. The New York Red Bulls ended up in seventh place and secured a spot in the final series.

FC Cincinnati at home will be the stronger side. Keeping this in mind, the New York Red Bulls will have to step up in their opening fixture. The hosts are coming in after securing a win in their Champions Cup fixture first round first leg. They staged a strong comeback as the game was levelled and then they came in to net in three more goals in the second half.

The New York Red Bulls will be low on confidence because of their below-average form. The Major League Soccer game against Cincinnati is going to be a tough affair for the visitors. Although they will be looking to kick off things on a positive note, the hosts are surely going to give them a tough time.
