My Prediction
New York Red Bulls by 2Ladies and gentlemen, let's talk about this upcoming soccer tango between the New England Revolution and New York Red Bulls. The Red Bulls have their agile hands between the sticks with Carlos Coronel rating a decent 7.50 with 13 saves under his belt, patrolled by young buck AJ Marcucci who rounds off at a 6.50 rating. The Revolution's guard is kept by Aljaž Ivačič, who's no slouch either with a rating of 6.73.
Now let's talk heavyweights, the Red Bulls have some swagger with Emil Forsberg leading the front line. Just so you know, he's been on target 4 times out of his 7.65 rating along with three goals to his name. Not forgetting Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting and Mohammed Sofo, these gentlemen made the net bulge once each with their ratings chilling at 7.15 and 7.10, goodbye goalkeeper's clean sheet.
Playing for New England, we've got Carles Gil who has been steady with a 7.23 rating, and Mamadou Fofana and Alhassan Yusuf providing strong support. Unfortunate for these lads, none of them have tasted the sweet, sweet scent of goal yet, but hey, every game is a new start.
Looking back in the memory box, these teams aren’t strangers to each other. And oh, it has been a tug-of-war. I've gotta say, the Red Bulls have had the upper hand more often than not.
Now don't let New York's regular season record fool you. Yes, it stands at 2-2-1, looking all bright, while New England is rocking that dismal 0-1-3 record. But honestly, who knows what tomorrow brings?
That said, the Red Bulls have been holding their ground recently, head high with their recent wins against Toronto FC and Nashville SC. On the other side, gravity seems to be playing tricks with the Revolution, who are struggling to keep their heads above water with losses against New York City FC and Philadelphia Union.
So, am I going to count out New England? Am I going down the easy road and siding with the Red Bulls? Ladies and gents, the suspense is killer, isn't it? Well, without further ado, let's hit the lights and roll out the prediction.
