New York Red Bulls vs FC Cincinnati Predicted lineup, betting tips, odds, injury news, H2H, telecast | MLS 2024

The Red Bulls are unbeaten in the last seven matches.

New York Red Bulls are back to their brilliant best in recent matches. Sandro Schwarz’s side are unbeaten in the last seven games and will be heading into this match with high confidence. Their recent good results have seen them move up to fourth spot in the MLS Eastern Conference.

The Reds Bulls are trailing by 12 points behind league leaders Inter Miami, who have maintained their positive start this season. This is a brilliant chance for them to close the gap as the visitors are suffering from a poor run of form. 

FC Cincinnati are enduring a tough period at the moment after losing two consecutive matches. The injury to Luciano Acosta hasn’t helped either, with him being a key part of their positive run this season. These two losses have seen them move back to the second position in the Eastern Conference, after the Herons registered a win in their last match. Cincinnati lost their recent match against Chicago Fire, despite dominating the match throughout.

Players to Watch

Lewis Morgan (New York Red Bulls) 

After a bright start to the season, the Scottish international has struggled to maintain his consistency. Lewis Morgan has scored just one goal in his last seven outings while scoring 10 goals in 20 matches overall. This is an impressive overall record for a goalscorer after failing to play a significant role in the last seven matches.

The last two MLS matches, however, have seen things change for the better for him. The player netted a goal against Colorado Rapids and later played a key role against Montreal.

Yuya Kobo (FC Cincinnati)

The Japanese international has a huge task to fill the void of Luciano Acosta who has been their standout player in the division. Nevertheless, Yuya Kobo possesses the ability to play a major role for the team after scoring nine goals in 22 matches.

He is the second top scorer in the team, but often doesn’t get the credit for his goalscoring prowess. Kobo had scored a memorable brace against league leaders Inter Miami to register a thumping 6-1 win in early July.
