New York Red Bulls go into this encounter following a 2-0 league win over Toronto FC in their previous fixture. Looking at their form, they have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games. At the back, Red Bulls have some weaknesses to address.
There are no losses for Los Angeles FC in 18 of their most recent 21 home games in MLS. Moreover, they have have scored at least one goal in their last 25 home league fixtures.
Meanwhile, New York Red Bulls lost their last 2 away league games by 2-0 scoreline. They even lost their last visit to Banc of California Stadium.
Knowing that, we expect Los Angeles FC to seal a win against Red Bulls on Sunday.
