Sporting Kansas City vs New York Red Bulls Prediction: Bulls will confirm their status

The New York Red Bulls, one of the leaders in the MLS season, will play their next regular-season game away against Sporting Kansas City. Can the Bulls win? There are several betting options to choose from.

Sporting is one of the most consistent clubs of the past decade in the MLS. The team won the 2013 championship, the US Cup three times, and made the playoffs regularly. Last season Kansas finished third in the West in the regular season and crashed out in the conference semifinals.

This season Sporting has been very poor so far. Kansas has lost 10 of its 18 games and sits last in the Western Conference with a 4-4-10 record and a 16:32 goal difference. Sporting lost 0:3 on the road to the Seattle Sounders in the previous round.

If Kansas City struggles in the current league, the New York Red Bulls have a solid run through the regular season. The team is coming into this game in second place in the Eastern Conference with an 8-5-5 balance and a 28:20 goal difference.

Last round, the Bulls pulled off a magnificent comeback in a home game against Atlanta. New York led with a score of 0:1 but managed to score twice, starting in the 83rd minute (2:1). Such victories usually have an extremely positive effect on a team's confidence in their abilities.

The Red Bulls and Sporting are now competing at different levels and classes. This season, Kansas City does not seem to have much of an opportunity to beat the Bulls this season. New York looks strong, deservedly in second place in the Eastern Conference, and will likely leave Kansas City with the points.
