New York Red Bulls are coming into this match with a slight trend to the over in their recent matches. They are coming off of a 2-2 draw at home with Montreal in their last match and they have gone over 2.5 goals in 4 of their last 6 matches. Their attack has been very good in these as they have scored at least 1 goal in 5 of their last 6 matches, scoring at least 2 goals in 4 of those 6 matches, but their defense has also allowed at least 1 goal in 3 of their last 4 matches, allowing at least 2 goals in 2 of those. When playing at home, they have gone over 2.5 goals in their last 3 straight as well as 5 of their last 7 matches there. They have scored at least 2 goals in each of their last 3 matches there, but they have also allowed at least 2 goals in 2 of their last 3 matches at home. They are going up against a Cincinnati side that has been trending to the over in their recent matches. They have gone over 2.5 goals in 3 of their last 4 as well as 6 of their last 8 matches. Their attack has been very good as they have scored 20 goals in their last 8 matches, but their defense has also allowed at least 1 goal in each of their last 4 as well as allowing at least 2 goals in 5 of their last 8 matches, allowing 4 goals in their last 2 matches alone. When playing away from home, they have gone over 2.5 goals in 4 of their last 5 matches, scoring 14 goals in those 5 matches and allowing 8 goals in those as well. Cincinnati is coming off of a 1-0 loss at home to Chicago in their last match and that loss allowed Inter Miami to overtake them for 1st place in the MLS once again so Cincinnati is going to be pushing for a win here. They will also be motivated since they lost 2-1 at home to the Red Bulls earlier this season, and they have the attack to find the net here with the way the Red Bulls have been conceding. The Red Bulls also have a very strong attack though and Cincinnati has struggled a lot recently to keep their opponents out of their net. Between these two sides, there will be enough goals in this match to push it over 2.5 goals.
