Do the Red Bulls go home again?
The Red Bulls return to New Jersey following a 3-2 defeat of Conference Leader Philadelphia Union to receive Chicago Fire in Game 17 of the current MLS season. The previous season had its ups and downs. The low of the season so far happened between games 3 and 7. 4 of the 5 games in this period lost the Bulls, then the team caught something, even could win 6 out of the eight subsequent encounters for themselves. The game in Philadelphia was then again a small damper for the New Yorkers. Overall, the Red Bulls come to 24 points. 7 wins, 3 draws and 7 defeats give the team 5th place in the Eastern Conference. This is currently within the playoff places. In order to gain a foothold there, or to consolidate the position, the next home game offers itself formally. The New Yorkers are visibly happy in their arena. In the previous 9 home games, the Bulls were defeated only three times, 5 of the games won the team. With a goal difference of 27:19 goals and the equivalent second best offensive of the Eastern Division. The home strength of the Bulls is also reflected in the goals scored. If there were 18 matches at home, only half as many will get away, namely 9 goals. In the home stadium, the New York Red Bulls have been unbeaten in three games, with 4 of their last 6 matches ending in a home win. In the last meeting of the two opponents in Chicago, in March of the year, they lost 1-0. The signs of a successful revenge, but seem pretty good. The home strength and the better shape of the New Yorker could be enough to bring Chicago to its knees. The balance of the last 6 direct duels also speaks for the New Yorker. Three of them were able to win, twice they were beaten the opponent, a draw from the year 2017 is added. Whether the cops can use their home advantage shows on Saturday. For us, New York is easy to favor, as it affects our betting recommendations, see below.
Is Chicago Fire still missing the explosive?
Chicago is currently ranked 8th in the Eastern Conference. A place below the magic line, which secures the play-off participation in the MLS. It’s still a long way to go until the end of the season, but every point can be decisive. With 19 points Chicago is on par with the ranked 7-team Toronto FC. A mixed first half of the season for the team of Bastian Schweinsteiger is coming to an end. After already 17 completed games, of which only 4 could be won, should be looking at the playoffs a performance increase ago. The record of home games can be seen with 4 wins, just as many draws and only one defeat, cause concern is the away balance. Fire has played eight away matches so far, with five defeats and three draws not enough to beat them. The out-of-home statistics further underline the discrepancy between home and away performance. Chicago has a good pass rate of 81% away from home, but possession is only 46%. Also in terms of offensive performance shows a similar picture. The average 14.3 shooting attempts of home games are compared to only 12.1 at away games. The yield of offensive efforts at home with 2.0 gates is quite respectable, the 0.9 in front of a foreign audience probably not. Similar brings the balance of the goals to light. Here are 1.9 goals per game outside of Chicago, averaging a goal against matches in the “Windy City”. All in all, there is little evidence that Chicago Fire can prevail in New York. Which betting variants this makes interesting for you read in the next paragraph.
