Game Preview
Neither team can be too proud of their performances in the 2023 MLS season. Both are below the playoff zone at the moment, and the worst thing is that they’re playing in the same conference as Inter Miami, which now has Lionel Messi on the roster.
NYCFC probably has better players than the Red Bulls, which explains why the MLS odds are favoring this team. Another reason for that is that the September 16 game is played at Yankee Stadium. That’s where this team has been pretty decent this season. In fact, five of NYCFC’s six wins in 2023 happened at this venue.

New York City FC vs. New York Red Bulls Prediction
Both teams are desperate for points in order to challenge for a spot in the playoffs. But it’s NYCFC that has a better roster. These guys are also in better form and play Saturday’s game in front of their crowd at Yankee Stadium.
