Free MLS Betting Preview | New York Red Bulls vs NYCFC Prediction, Picks and Odds | July 17

New York City FC once again look like the team to beat in the East. No disrespect to the Red Bulls or the Philadelphia Union, but the numbers don’t lie and once again NYCFC are the clear favorites when looking at xG numbers. They lead the league in xG with a +1.02 differential per game while also ranking No. 1, No. 2 or No. 3 in offensive and defensive shot averages.

We must remember that this is a derby, and the No. 1 rule of a derby is to throw all the numbers at the window, they don’t matter. Rivalries in any sport always seem to play out much differently than you think they should on the surface. The results of this derby are in the Red Bulls favor as they lead with 13 wins and three draws compared to just six wins for NYCFC.
