Red Bulls to stay within reach of St. Louis
St. Louis City enter with four wins in their last five matches and a strong attack that averages three goals a game. Their away scoring drops to 1.3 per match though, while New York Red Bulls concede 1.9 at home. Several St. Louis players miss out with knee, hip and ankle issues that limit their options in attack. New York Red Bulls sit eighth after two wins in five but keep games close at Sports Illustrated Stadium. Head-to-head results show one win each and two draws in the last three meetings. Both sides see three or more goals in exactly 14 of their 26 league games so far. St. Louis will push forward early but New York Red Bulls can limit the damage with a compact defensive shape.
