New York Red Bulls vs FC Cincinnati Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | MLS 2025

The previous confrontation between these clubs ended in favour of the Orange and Blue.

New York Red Bulls are all set to host FC Cincinnati for their round 33 fixture of the Major League Soccer 2025 season. This is going to be an interesting fixture, taking place at the Sports Illustrated Stadium.

New York Red Bulls are coming in after facing a 2-3 defeat against New York City FC in their previous league fixture. It was a close fixture, but the performance by the NY Red Bulls was not enough to secure a win. They will be at home for their upcoming fixture, and this will be one of their advantages.

The Orange and Blue were held to a 1-1 draw by Orlando City in their last Major League Soccer fixture. They conceded a last-minute goal, and this led them to drop a couple of more points. FC Cincinnati might be under some pressure for their upcoming fixture as they will be the visiting side.
